Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches for Online Support
Claire integrates attachment-based work with client-centered principles to create a supportive online therapeutic environment. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to help with challenges such as intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin difficulties, while Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the person find their own solutions to everyday struggles and life changes.Claire also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helpful, using practical approaches to address patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, stress, low mood, or difficulties sleeping. These approaches are chosen to match the presenting concerns and the goals of the person seeking help.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor care, and Claire discusses options openly so clients can make informed choices.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. These formats make it possible to access recommended therapeutic approaches from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
