About Solveig
Solveig Frivold is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She also supports those facing grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and mood concerns like depression or bipolar. Solveig works with people who want practical tools and clearer communication in their daily lives.
She draws on approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused methods to guide conversations about feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful cycles and build small, doable changes. Solveig listens for the ways past relationships shape current reactions and helps clients try new responses. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. When trauma is part of the story, she may integrate EMDR-informed and trauma-focused methods to address painful memories. Solveig has practiced for six years and is licensed in Washington and Virginia as an LMFT.
She has experience working across cultures and with people from many regions, which informs her attention to cultural context in therapy. Work can take different forms depending on what someone needs. Some sessions focus on immediate coping skills for anger and stress.
Other work digs into attachment patterns and family-of-origin issues to reduce repeated conflicts and build more balanced relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Solveig commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused methods in her work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples notice the emotions that drive their reactions and learn new ways to connect and communicate. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on understanding how past hurts affect present behavior and on building skills to reduce distress around traumatic memories.She also uses client-centered principles to keep the work tailored to each person. That means she partners with clients to choose which approach fits best, based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Deciding the right method is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits make it possible to work through interpersonal patterns with real-time interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions offer short, flexible moments for processing between longer appointments. These options let clients fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
