Therapeutic approaches and online support with Arleia Lopes



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve trust and closeness in relationships, and address long-standing patterns that affect intimacy and safety.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so people can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying values, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns and helps people develop coping skills and clearer thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Arleia works collaboratively with clients and with reference to approaches used by registered professionals to identify which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy delivers these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for scheduling and formats. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or during busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care and personalized therapeutic support.
