Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Michelle King

Michelle King integrates several established approaches to help clients address emotional struggles and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for those coping with abandonment, attachment issues, or relational difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and promotes a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where individuals can discover their own solutions and build self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, adjusting focus as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a registered professional while balancing everyday responsibilities and geographic constraints.
