Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Michelle often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding each person’s goals, and tailoring sessions around their pace and preferences. This approach is useful for building trust and deciding which skills to try next.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it breaks issues into clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different tools. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while using the chosen therapeutic techniques.
