Online Therapeutic Approaches and How They Help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and connections. It explores attachment styles and works to build more secure ways of relating, which can be helpful for issues like abandonment, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the core of the process, using empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, finding life direction, and strengthening personal agency.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical, structured techniques. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process; Michelle King works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match individual goals, needs, and preferences. The emphasis is on shared decision-making and adapting techniques over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful change.
