Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating difficult relationship dynamics to build safer ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, using empathy, acceptance, and active listening to help people explore their feelings and find their own solutions - it is valuable for those seeking greater self-understanding and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and managing difficult reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Clarinda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often adapt techniques over time, and Clarinda will discuss options and adjust the work as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity when travel or circumstances change, and make it possible to receive ongoing support in a way that suits the individual’s routine and comfort level.
