Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle works with approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and topics of therapy, which can be helpful for building self-esteem and exploring relationship and attachment concerns. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a practical option for managing anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements from different methods to find the best fit. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful and achievable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexible ways to fit therapy into daily life. These formats make it easier to access support from licensed professionals when in-person visits are not possible, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions.
