Approaches that guide online support and change

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections can shape current relationships and emotional patterns. In online work this approach helps people explore attachment styles, improve trust and closeness, and address issues like abandonment or relationship anxiety.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, prioritizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. It is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and finding clarity when feeling stuck.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It can be particularly helpful for addressing addictions, making lifestyle changes, or finding direction in moments of transition.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Sandra Barrett and other registered professionals will collaborate with each client to identify which methods best fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy lives and those who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for each individual.
