Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and close relationships shape feelings, expectations, and behavior in current relationships. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, and patterns that interfere with intimate or caregiving relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective without judgment and creating a respectful, collaborative space. This approach supports individuals working through shame, isolation, relationship conflicts, and decisions about personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT can be useful for mood disorders, panic symptoms, and managing unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela Schumacher works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care while working on relationship, trauma, parenting, and mood-related concerns.
