About Solveig
Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and mood disorders. She works with issues like ADHD, depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem, and intimacy-related struggles. Solveig’s style is grounded and practical, aimed at finding small changes that make daily life easier.
Solveig blends several therapy approaches to match what each person needs.
How Solveig works
She focuses on understanding attachment patterns and emotional responses, and she uses trauma-informed methods when trauma or past harm is part of the picture. Sessions are conversational and collaborative - clients set goals and she offers tools to reach them. Her practice emphasizes real-world skills: improving communication, setting boundaries, coping with life transitions, and reducing the symptoms that cause day-to-day distress.
She also addresses family of origin issues, abandonment wounds, shame, isolation, and multicultural concerns when those show up in sessions. Solveig has six years of clinical experience and holds LMFT licensure in Virginia and Washington. She has worked with people from multiple regions and brings that cross-cultural perspective into her work.
Her approach aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and others. Sessions can include processing painful memories, practicing new ways of relating, and building routines that support emotional stability. She encourages collaboration and honest conversation to help clients move toward clearer goals and healthier patterns.

Online support options
How attachment and trauma work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds affect current relationships. It focuses on how emotions and connection shape reactions and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in close relationships. It helps partners or individuals notice patterns that keep them stuck and guides them to create new, healthier interactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address the effects of traumatic experiences by teaching regulation skills and processing difficult memories in manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Solveig will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan so methods remain useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging can help with brief updates, mood tracking, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to get help even when travel or scheduling are barriers.
