Therapeutic approaches offered in online practice

Lizandra commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses; this approach can be useful for issues such as abandonment, codependency and intimacy-related concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of exploration and the therapist provides empathy and support to foster self-understanding and self-love. Additionally, elements of Psychodynamic Therapy are used to explore underlying family of origin issues and recurring patterns that influence present-day behaviour and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lizandra works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the work as trust and insight develop so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy with Lizandra is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live outside her local area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into work or family commitments and access support from different locations.
