Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand how attachment styles affect intimacy, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and processing emotional pain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, stress, and rumination.

Maitena treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore which methods feel most relevant to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the therapeutic plan as understanding deepens and priorities shift.

Online therapy with Maitena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into varied routines while maintaining a focus on meaningful therapeutic work.
