Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jareeda draws on several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help with abandonment, trust, and relationship difficulties by exploring emotional bonds and how to form healthier ones. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, offering empathy and acceptance so clients can clarify their values, build self-worth, and make choices that feel authentic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jareeda works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose what suits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to access consistent support across locations and life circumstances while preserving the continuity and therapeutic relationship that promote meaningful change.
