Attachment-informed and Practical Online Therapy Options
Daniela integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and can be helpful for abandonment, intimacy, and trust issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of work, supporting self-exploration and emotional clarity. CBT focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process rather than a one-time decision. Daniela works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and focus over time so the work remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access a registered professional from where the client is most comfortable.
