Online Therapeutic Approaches with Tish Silva

Tish Silva integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more secure connections; it can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client s own goals, creating a respectful environment where individuals lead the pace and focus of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often supporting progress with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Tish works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each person based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining insight-focused and skills-based strategies to match client priorities.

Online therapy with Tish is designed for flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
