Solveig Frivold, LMFT - Therapist in Washington

About Solveig

Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with parents and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and practices from Washington. Solveig focuses on helping people find clearer ways to manage grief, anger, low self-esteem, mood changes, and life transitions.

She also addresses ADHD, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Solveig draws on several therapy methods to match what each family or person needs.

Background and approach

She often uses emotionally focused techniques to help partners reconnect and attachment-based work to look at family patterns. For trauma-related concerns she may use EMDR or trauma-focused methods when appropriate. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

She listens first and helps set practical goals together. Sessions aim to name patterns, try different ways of communicating, and build skills parents and partners can use at home. Solveig brings six years of clinical experience and holds a Washington license as LMFT.

Her background includes work across cultures and with people from many regions. That experience informs how she thinks about family dynamics and multicultural concerns. Parents considering support can expect a calm, direct approach.

Solveig works with families on communication, parenting strategies, family of origin issues, and healing after loss or trauma. She focuses on small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve connection.

Online approaches for family and trauma work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns between family members and partners. It looks at how earlier bonds shape current reactions and helps people build more supported, dependable ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples and families name emotions under conflicts, shift interaction patterns, and deepen connection through clear emotional work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is a central issue. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend one or a combination of methods. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a family or individual actually needs. Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and observing interaction patterns in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging add flexible options for check-ins, coaching, or when schedules are tight. These formats allow families and individuals to meet from home, fit sessions around daily life, and continue therapy during moves or travel while maintaining regular progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
