Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Melissa McCormick draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and intimate connections; this approach can be especially helpful for people working on attachment issues, relationship conflicts, and family dynamics. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so individuals can build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common part of her work, focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address panic or social fears.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps shape a treatment plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to connect from different locations, including internationally. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across changing schedules and circumstances.
