Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melissa Henry draws from several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration - the therapist creates a supportive environment and follows the client’s lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth, which can be helpful for issues like self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms by teaching practical skills and coping strategies. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can be beneficial for people dealing with trauma-related reactions or persistent painful memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those juggling work, family, and other commitments. Sessions by video call or phone provide real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging offer more immediate or lower-intensity options for staying connected between sessions. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue care from home or another convenient location.
