Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual as the expert of their own life and creates a supportive environment where a therapist listens deeply and helps people clarify their values and goals - this approach is helpful for those seeking validation and self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of feelings and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across many everyday challenges.
Machelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best, taking into account the client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences. She treats the selection of methods as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life, navigate scheduling barriers, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location within the state.
