Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people build more secure, satisfying relationships by exploring attachment styles and repair strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of change and explore personal goals, which can support self-esteem, decision-making, and coping with stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Prof. Michael Feldler approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting approaches as the work evolves.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care, make it easier to maintain regular appointments during busy periods, and provide multiple ways for clients to communicate in the style that feels most comfortable to them.
