Online support
How attachment and skill-focused therapy work online
Michele uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current emotions and connections. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of feeling and responding in relationships.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following each person's pace. That approach aims to make sessions feel supportive while people talk through what matters most to them.
Finally, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing anxious or negative thoughts and changing unhelpful behaviors. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Michele works with each person to figure out which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on how things are going.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support and quick reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules, locations, and comfort levels.
