Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mitchell Rouzie draws on several evidence-informed approaches to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult connections; it helps people who struggle with intimacy, trust, and recurring relationship conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and expressing core emotions in relationships to improve bonding and repair attachment ruptures.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative effort. Rouzie works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques from different models so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who may have difficulty attending in-person appointments. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances, making it easier to access consistent support when it is needed.
