Therapeutic approaches for online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current ways of relating to others and to oneself. In online work this can help people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or recurring relationship conflicts to explore attachment needs and develop more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, increasing confidence, and finding personal clarity during times of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. In online sessions CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and motivational challenges by teaching skills that clients can apply between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to registered professionals and therapists. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and continue consistent work even when in-person meetings are not possible.
