Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Richard Sheehy draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how those patterns show up in current connections - it can help with concerns around abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own experience, emphasizing empathy and collaborative exploration to build self-understanding and confidence; it is often useful for self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, making it a strong fit for stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, and problem-solving.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Richard Sheehy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats, and Dr. Sheehy integrates them to suit each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. This range of options helps connect clients with consistent therapeutic work while accommodating varying communication styles and life demands.
