Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and ways to build more secure connections with others.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. A therapist provides a supportive presence and follows the client’s pace, which is useful for people working through identity, self-esteem, or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop alternative coping strategies. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns to produce actionable change.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Melanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and access support from the comfort of one’s own environment.
