Online support options
Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Ferrara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. This can help people who notice repeated problems in close relationships or feel stuck in how they relate to others.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person’s experience and pacing. That approach helps clients feel heard and guides work on self-esteem, shame, or identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ferrara discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. Together they choose strategies that fit the issue at hand and the client’s comfort with different techniques.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions may be conducted by video call for face-to-face conversation, by phone for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, or through live chat and text messaging for brief updates and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
