Attachment-informed and skills-based support online
Cherisse integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps with intimacy, trust and family-of-origin concerns, with Client-Centered Therapy, an empathic, nonjudgmental approach that prioritises the client’s own goals and pace and supports self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood and improving everyday functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cherisse works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of attachment work, person-centered exploration and skills-based techniques fits best with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible options that suit different schedules and comfort levels. Registered professionals like Cherisse offer video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible across distances and time zones, supporting continued progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
