Attachment and Cognitive Approaches for Online Support

Shantelle Wells draws on attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping clients address issues like trust, abandonment, and relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns by practicing concrete skills and new ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wells works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Wells can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the permitted regions served by licensed professionals.
