Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds affect current relationships and patterns. It can be useful for addressing parental attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and developing clearer coping strategies.
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience at the center. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters and try changes that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Offering video, phone, chat, and text helps people fit therapy into parenting, work, and life routines.
