Attachment and Practical Approaches Online
Rivkah often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand why they may get stuck in certain relationship cycles and offers ways to shift those patterns.She also draws on client-centered principles, which focus on listening and creating a respectful space where a person can be heard and make choices about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change behaviors that feed addictions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rivkah will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules align. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter exchanges and flexibility across the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines while keeping the focus on practical change and relationship repair.
