Therapeutic approaches and online options
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way when relationships feel threatening and teaches ways to feel and respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build more effective behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and uses that awareness to improve emotional connection and regulation.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist does together with the client. Michelle will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps find methods that match the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access care. Video calls let you work face-to-face from another location, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep consistent meetings and try therapeutic tools in real life as issues come up.
