Therapeutic approaches and online connection
Myke commonly draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment issues or family-related difficulties. He also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative, non-directive stance that helps people feel heard and supported while they explore their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is often integrated to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, providing practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, mood and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Myke works collaboratively with clients to determine what combination of methods best fits their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as priorities and circumstances change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, support continuity of care during life transitions, and allow clients to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
