Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Access
Angelique draws from attachment-based work to explore how early and ongoing relationships shape emotional responses and interpersonal patterns - this approach can be especially helpful for people managing abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors techniques and interventions accordingly. That collaborative stance helps ensure the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance therapy with other responsibilities, and access support from home or another convenient location while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
