Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aurilia works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that focus on feelings and how they shape connections and inner experience. EFT can help people understand the emotional patterns that keep them stuck and build new ways of responding to painful feelings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and following the client's pace. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they consider change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her practice too; CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aurilia collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what helps the client make progress and feel comfortable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or used when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for ongoing support and quick reflections between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
