About Solveig
Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma. She also supports those facing grief, mood disorders, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and changes in life circumstances. Solveig writes simply and listens with directness so parents can find clear steps forward.
She favors practical, emotion-focused work in sessions. Conversations often look at attachment patterns and how they show up in daily family life.
Background and approach
Solveig uses client-centered listening alongside trauma-focused methods when past hurts affect current relationships. Solveig has six years of clinical experience and practices in Washington. Her background includes working across cultures and with people from many regions.
She draws on that experience when multicultural concerns or family-of-origin patterns come up. In a typical session she helps people notice patterns, name feelings, and try small changes between meetings. Parents can expect concrete tools for communication, setting boundaries, and soothing big emotions.
She also offers approaches for processing traumatic memories and intense reactions. Solveig works collaboratively to set goals that match each person’s situation. She adjusts her way of working to fit the client's needs and pace.
This helps people move toward steadier relationships and clearer daily routines.

Emotion-focused and trauma-informed work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns between close people and how those patterns shape reactions. It helps when parents notice old ways of relating that keep repeating in their family life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and following the client's pace; this helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with strong feelings so they can shift interactions that cause hurt or disconnection.Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Solveig will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest a path forward. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different life rhythms.
