Therapeutic approaches and online care
Roda commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - this approach can help with intimacy issues, trust difficulties, and recurring relationship conflicts. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and creating space for clients to discover their own solutions - this is useful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she uses to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Roda works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Roda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access a registered professional from different locations, including international clients.
