Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches in Online Therapy
Daryl draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships influence patterns of connection, trust, and emotional response. This approach can help clients who struggle with relationship difficulties, fear of abandonment, or repeated patterns that affect intimacy.
He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person with empathy and acceptance. That approach supports people working through grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm by prioritizing the client’s perspective and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Daryl works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. He adapts methods as therapy progresses so that the work remains relevant and effective.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These remote options make regular appointments more accessible and allow registered professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
