Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Esmie draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early bonds and attachment patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship conflict. She also uses client-centered therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic space where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of work, which can be especially helpful for building self-awareness and processing shame or guilt. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, providing practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Esmie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.
Online therapy with Esmie offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or relocation. These options support consistent engagement and make it possible for international clients or those with time constraints to receive ongoing therapeutic support from a registered professional.
