Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy invites people to lead the conversation while the therapist provides empathy, acceptance and support. It focuses on understanding the individual's experience and building self-awareness and confidence, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - works with thoughts, feelings and behaviours to identify patterns that maintain distress and to develop practical strategies for change. It is often used for anxiety, stress, panic-related difficulties and mood concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores past experiences and unconscious patterns that can shape current relationships and emotional responses, supporting deeper insight into issues such as attachment, abandonment or long-standing relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Michaela will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and the methods that best fit their needs, adapting the plan over time as progress evolves.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions to fit around work, family and daily commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue work on life challenges from different locations and settings.
