Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michelle Lake integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and connection, supporting work on intimacy, relationship challenges, and attachment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the work remains practical and meaningful.
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 access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, help maintain continuity of care during life changes, and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that work best for them.
