Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating; it helps people explore attachment concerns, parenting challenges, abandonment issues, and ways to build more secure connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and day-to-day coping. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by reauthoring life stories and reframing experiences related to guilt, shame, or low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Patrick Mathieu works with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and together they select or combine methods that best fit the individual’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing that collaborative care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility around work, family, and location, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support without requiring travel. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life while exploring the approaches that are most helpful.
