Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand feelings of abandonment, attachment issues and intimacy-related difficulties, and supports developing safer, more secure ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and inherent capacity for growth; the therapist offers empathy and acceptance to help clients explore values, identity and self-esteem at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns and teaches practical techniques to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol Bendinelli works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the work feels useful and relevant.

When working with registered professionals online, sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes and access support from the place that works best for the client.
