Online support
Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape close connections. It helps people notice key feelings, understand attachment needs, and try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions, helping people recognize and change repeating patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support to help clients discover their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Florence will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process means testing what helps and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a quicker check-in, and messaging is useful for shorter updates or when a written format feels better. These options give flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and help people maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
