How attachment and CBT translate to online therapy
Georgios commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns of relating and trust; it can help when connection, intimacy or abandonment fears cause distress. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress management.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Georgios treats this as a collaboration - he listens to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. Over the first few sessions he will check in and adjust the approach so it fits the person’s needs and what feels most helpful.
Online therapy can fit different lifestyles and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to use a camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can work well for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family commitments or travel while still focusing on meaningful change.
