04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in connections and try new ways of relating when trust or closeness feels hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings in relationships and helps people name and work through emotions to build stronger connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That process is collaborative - clients help decide what feels most useful and changes can be made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on skills between meetings.
