Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michelle draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client's values and strengths guide the work. This approach helps people explore their goals, build self-awareness, and make changes that fit their life and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach she incorporates when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are central concerns. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time so care remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to engage in regular, consistent work with a licensed professional in ways that fit their daily life.
