How Larissa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Larissa commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside Client-Centered work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness, useful for intimacy and communication concerns. Client-Centered therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to build understanding and work at the client's preferred pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Larissa collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress or priorities change. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
