Bringing Attachment, Client-Centered Work, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections - it can be useful for people facing abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties with intimacy and trust. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client's own pace and goals, offering a non-judgemental space to process emotions like grief, emptiness, or shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and low mood.



Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Valerie works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider which methods should guide sessions and adjust the plan over time based on how the client responds.



Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit their comfort and schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere, while allowing therapists and registered professionals to adapt tools and techniques to the chosen format.
