Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections and emotional responses, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and patterns of avoidance or anxious attachment. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, empathic therapeutic relationship in which the client’s own insights and choices are central, helping people build self-awareness, confidence, and personal direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dagmar will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will identify which methods or combination of approaches best support progress. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to tailor the work to the individual.

Online therapy with Dagmar is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives or different time zones. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever clients are located while maintaining therapeutic continuity and responsiveness.
