Integrative approaches for online therapy

Melanie works from an integrative psychotherapy framework - a flexible method that blends ideas and techniques from different therapeutic models to suit an individual’s needs. Integrative work helps explore patterns in thinking, feeling, and relationships and is often helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and navigating major life changes.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques - well-researched methods that focus on practical skills and strategies to improve coping and manage symptoms. These techniques can support people dealing with panic, low mood, social anxiety, or the practical demands of parenting and relationship repair.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Melanie collaborates with each person to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adapt methods so the work feels relevant and manageable. Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not possible. For many clients, remote sessions provide accessible, consistent contact with registered professionals and therapists while supporting steady progress.
