Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michelle commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters, while also learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for people struggling with chronic anxiety, impulsive behaviors, or relational conflict. EFT concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, supporting couples and families to build stronger attachment and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She combines respectful listening with clear suggestions and tailors techniques so they are usable in daily life.
Online therapy with Michelle offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can access care from home, during busy schedules, or while managing family responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions with consistent support from a licensed professional.
