Attachment-informed and integrative approaches for online support
Carla draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour; this approach can be particularly helpful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, or attachment-related concerns.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so the person can lead the pace and focus of change; this approach supports work on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal growth.
When practical skills are needed, Carla applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build concrete strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carla works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from an office. These options allow ongoing continuity of care and make it easier to access support from licensed professionals across different locations.
