Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. It helps people explore attachment needs and repair patterns that affect close relationships, making it useful for issues like intimacy difficulties, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client's own capacity to find solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life changes by centering the client's experience and goals.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports people in finding their own reasons for change. It can be especially useful for addressing ambivalence around behaviors such as addictions, making changes in relationships, or starting new routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sandra Barrett works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between appointments in ways that suit each person.
