Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Melissa integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current reactions - it can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and caregiving stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal goals - it supports self-esteem, life purpose exploration, and the process of making meaningful changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical coping skills - it is often used for motivation, confidence, and managing stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melissa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach over time so therapy stays relevant and effective. This collaborative process includes discussing options and testing techniques together.
Online sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy lives and for those balancing caregiving or work responsibilities. These formats make it possible to work with licensed professionals and therapists from convenient locations, allowing therapy to fit into varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
