Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - it helps people understand fears of abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship repeating cycles and supports safer ways of relating. Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help individuals explore their values, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Nia treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with clients to review needs, goals, and personal preferences, and together they decide which methods or combination of approaches feels most helpful for the presenting concerns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow live conversation with a registered professional, while live chat and text messaging provide more immediate or ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
