Background and approach
Her work includes trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, stress and addictions, among other concerns.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions
Starnta commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce how much those memories affect daily life, which can help with post-traumatic stress and overwhelming reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and feel safer in connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt methods that feel right. That collaborative process helps make sessions relevant to the person’s life rather than following a strict plan.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and build rapport, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join. Live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility to arrange therapy around work, childcare or travel and to use the format that best supports progress.
