Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills for daily stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and relational patterns, including attachment and object relations, influence current feelings and relationships, which can be especially helpful for addressing trauma, relationship struggles, and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Michelle White works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy feels aligned with each person’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy with Dr. White is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for choosing the mode of communication that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to access consistent care across busy schedules and from different locations, while preserving the therapeutic focus on progress and connection with a licensed professional.
