Approaches and Online Support for Personal Growth
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore the impact of attachment history on intimacy, trust and emotional safety and can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment-related struggles.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathy, acceptance and genuine presence. This approach supports clients in discovering their own resources and making meaningful choices, and it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and decision-making.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress and many day-to-day coping challenges.
Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Spencer works with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and then shapes therapy using one or more methods that fit the client and the presenting concerns.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
