Online support
Attachment-informed care and online therapy options
Malinda uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach focuses on building trust in the therapeutic relationship and noticing how attachment needs influence reactions and relationships. It can be useful for those who feel stuck repeating old relationship patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the person’s perspective and pace. Sessions focus on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when practical skill-building is helpful; CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as needed so it fits their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
