Therapeutic approaches and online practice

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. In this work Maitena explores attachment styles to help clients understand difficulty with intimacy, abandonment fears, and family dynamics, offering tools to build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the core of the process, using empathic listening and collaboration so people can explore their values, choices, and identity at their own pace; it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, which can reduce rumination and support Managing stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Maitena works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Maitena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit into different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations, respond to immediate needs, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable for the client.
