Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Michelle integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into online sessions to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients feel heard while exploring personal goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy is goal-oriented and practical - it helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and substance-related patterns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, empathetic style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which is especially helpful in working with addictions and readiness for treatment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adjusting techniques over time so therapy matches the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow work to continue in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
