Therapy Approaches That Fit Online Life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or life transitions leave someone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns, trust, and connection. This approach can support clients working through relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and the impact of past experiences on present-day bonds.
The Gottman Method offers research-informed tools for strengthening communication, managing conflict, and building understanding in relationships. It can be a helpful fit for clients who want clearer conversations and steadier connection with a partner or within family relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle Underwood collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most supportive, then adjusts the work over time as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep care consistent alongside a full schedule. Sessions are available by video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat and text-based messaging for flexible support between sessions.
