Therapeutic approaches and online care with Michael Dwyer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on clarifying personal values so actions align with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress because it builds psychological flexibility and purposeful direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how these influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and feelings tied to abandonment or trust.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative decision. Michael will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect across distances. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful, evidence-informed care through these formats, allowing people to access support in ways that suit their circumstances and comfort.
