Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and expectations in close relationships. It helps people understand recurring relational reactions, process attachment wounds, and build more secure connections with others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s experience guides the work. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional processing, and personal growth by prioritizing the client’s perspective and pacing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges by teaching skills that reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Elyse Schwartz Myers works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences so therapists and clients can adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow access from different locations, and enable ongoing skill practice between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each person’s situation.
