Approaches That Guide Online Therapy with Wendy Mayfield
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps clients explore attachment styles, improve connection in relationships, and address issues such as intimacy concerns, abandonment fears, and family dynamics.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and strengthening emotional awareness.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, coping skills, and managing stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works together with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to work with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, fit sessions around busy schedules, and continue therapeutic progress even when in-person meetings are difficult.
