Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sarika Griffin

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps clients explore attachment styles, deepen intimacy, and address codependency or family of origin issues by tracing how past bonds influence present emotions and behaviors.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client’s goals and strengths. It supports self-esteem, self-love, and personal growth by allowing individuals to lead the pace and focus of therapy while the therapist provides empathetic understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life changes through skill-building and structured strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarika Griffin works with clients to combine or adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits their lived experience and desired outcomes.

Online therapy can make this collaborative work more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, help maintain continuity during life transitions, and make meeting with licensed professionals easier from many locations.
