About Solveig
Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. She writes in plain, direct terms and focuses on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life.
Solveig speaks English and practices from Washington, and she has worked with people from a range of cultures and backgrounds. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach that centers their goals.
Background and approach
Solveig listens first, then suggests tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and handling overwhelming moments. She draws on approaches that emphasize feelings, attachment, and trauma work to guide sessions rather than relying on a single method. Her background includes six years of clinical work and practice in cross-cultural settings.
That experience informs how she frames problems and notices cultural influences on relationships, parenting, and identity. She aims to make sessions relatable and down-to-earth for busy caregivers and adults juggling many demands. Solveig commonly helps people untangle family of origin patterns, repair emotional connection in partnerships, and manage attention and organizational challenges linked to ADHD.
She also supports people processing loss, grief, and compassion fatigue with steady, practical steps. Throughout therapy she emphasizes collaboration. Clients and the therapist set clear goals, try techniques between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed.
The work is focused on small, useful changes that add up over time.
How attachment and trauma work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection and patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds shape reactions today and supports building more supported ways of relating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses between partners or within oneself. It is useful for repairing emotional distance, improving communication, and addressing intimacy-related concerns.
Solveig tailors these approaches to each person. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then choose techniques that fit those needs. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and comfort.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for emotion-focused work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and clients in different time zones.
