Attachment, EMDR, and CBT for Online Support

Michelle Perry integrates several evidence-based approaches into online care to address trauma, relationships, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps clients build more secure, connected patterns that improve relationships and emotional safety. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used when trauma symptoms interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to support practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together clients and the therapist adjust methods over time to ensure treatment remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. Michelle provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best suits their routine and comfort. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these remote options while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
