Background and approach
Dr. Belhamel listens closely, helps clarify what matters most, and offers skills people can use between sessions. She draws on several methods to match each person's needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices and coping with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns that affect how people connect with others.
Dr. Belhamel also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches when they fit the situation. These methods emphasize empathy, practical skills, and balancing acceptance with change.
The mix lets her tailor work for concerns like trauma, addiction, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, ADHD, and chronic illness. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online. She accepts international clients and aims to create a clear plan to address each person's goals.
A typical session focuses on small, steady steps people can use right away.
How chosen approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful feelings without getting stuck and to act on what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationship patterns affect current struggles and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the client's situation, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist collaborate to choose techniques that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and flexible communication between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
