Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Allison Abaza draws on client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to support people in different ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead to help them explore feelings and identify personal strengths, which can be useful for navigating life changes and relational concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to help manage stress and reduce habitual reactivity, making it helpful for anxiety and ongoing worry. Psychodynamic therapy explores recurring patterns and past relationships to shed light on current behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for understanding attachment and long-standing interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Allison works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She considers client feedback and adapts methods so therapy feels helpful and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to connect with registered professionals and therapists from different locations, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not feasible.
