Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In practice this approach helps people explore attachment wounds, improve emotional closeness, and change how they relate in intimate and family relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-discovery; it can be especially helpful for building confidence, clarifying values, and strengthening inner resources. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shelly collaborates with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies to individual circumstances and works together with clients to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Shelly is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging work or family obligations, and they allow therapy to continue through life transitions and changing circumstances.
