Attachment, client-centered, and CBT approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotions and interpersonal patterns. It helps people understand feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties so they can build more secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and focused listening to support self-exploration and personal growth. This approach is well suited to people seeking a collaborative, non-directive space to work through stress, low self-esteem, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with change. Sessions often include clear goals and strategies that clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and a registered professional will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This often involves reviewing progress and adapting the plan over time.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. It can make therapy more accessible across locations and life circumstances while allowing therapists to use the same therapeutic skills and approaches as in-person work.
