Attachment and Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy
Carla uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating, which can help with issues like intimacy, abandonment concerns and attachment difficulties. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety and low mood.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Carla works alongside clients to assess what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made so that therapy remains tailored and responsive.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow for continuity of care when clients travel or relocate, and make it possible to connect with registered professionals and therapists without the constraints of geography.
