Attachment and Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Michele Davis draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach explores connection and security in relationships, which can support healing from attachment issues, family conflict, or difficulties forming close bonds.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a collaborative style that prioritizes the client's experience and goals. In practice this means Michele listens closely, reflects understanding, and helps clients find their own solutions to challenges such as grief, life transitions, or self-esteem concerns.

When helpful, Michele incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. These approaches can be adapted to fit the needs of each person over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect across distances. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
