Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and responding to others.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The process is guided by what the client wants to change and what feels manageable in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face connection and exercises that use expressions and tone. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat allow brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or ongoing written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work schedules, caregiving routines, or periods of transition while using the therapeutic approaches above in ways that match each person's needs.
