Client-Centered Care Online and Therapeutic Flexibility

Ornella practices client-centered therapy, an approach that places the individual’s experience at the heart of the work. This method focuses on active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, helping people explore feelings and make choices that align with their values. It is particularly helpful for addressing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, and the emotional impact of life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Ornella works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts session pace and focus in conversation with each person to create a supportive, goal-oriented plan rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with Ornella can be delivered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most practical and effective for each client.
