Approaches that guide online care with a compassionate focus
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns - it helps people understand connection, repair ruptures, and improve communication in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches strategies to accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions, which can be helpful for coping with life changes and persistent emotional pain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Melinda works collaboratively to find what fits best. She reviews goals, preferences, and practical needs with each person and adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client.
Online therapy with Melinda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
