About Solveig

Solveig Frivold is an LMFT who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to help clients navigate life changes, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, and a wide range of attachment and communication difficulties. Her practice also attends to obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and multicultural concerns.

She combines training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with attachment-based and trauma-focused strategies, shaping an approach around each client’s needs. Solveig emphasizes a collaborative process that highlights strengths while addressing family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Based in Washington and licensed as an LMFT, she offers care in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available through multiple online formats to fit differing schedules and preferences.

Applying attachment and trauma approaches in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients examine connection, trust, and emotional responses in relationships; it is useful for attachment wounds, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping core emotions within relationships to foster stable bonds and improve communication, often used for couples and relationship repair. EMDR targets distressing memories and the emotions tied to them through structured processing, which can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions and support recovery from abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the most suitable methods, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve. Clients and therapist make decisions together about which interventions best fit the presenting concerns.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage time constraints, and choose the style of communication that feels most comfortable for each individual.
