Approaches that translate to online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and fear so they can try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy prioritizes the emotional experience in close relationships and can help people express needs and rebuild trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. Video allows conversational depth and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat is convenient for quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access therapy from different places and times while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
