About Solveig

Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to support clients facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, obsessive-compulsive patterns, multicultural concerns, and attachment or family-of-origin difficulties. Her style blends empathy with clear direction, encouraging clients to explore inner parts, relational patterns, and emotional experiences while building practical coping skills.

Solveig integrates Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based practices, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR as tools to address trauma, relational wounds, and entrenched emotional patterns. She adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed model.

Based in Washington and licensed as VA LMFT 0717002038 and WA LMFT LF61426894, she offers services in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should expect collaborative work aimed at increasing self-understanding, improving relationships, and navigating challenging life changes using approaches grounded in attachment and parts-based models.

How attachment, parts work, and online care come together



Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches the mind as made up of distinct parts - for example protective or wounded parts - and helps clients build a compassionate relationship with those parts to reduce internal conflict and promote emotional healing. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns, helping people understand how early bonds shape current intimacy and communication and supporting new ways of connecting that feel safer and more supported.

Finding the right method is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client will explore goals, preferences, and presenting issues together to select whether parts work, attachment work, EMDR, or other tools best fit the moment. This collaborative stance allows flexibility and adjustments as therapy unfolds so interventions align with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging that expand access and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, across time zones, or when in-person sessions are not feasible, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide trauma-focused, attachment-oriented, and parts-based work.
