Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and relationship and family problems.

Michelle emphasizes an easygoing, empathetic approach that values listening and being present. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and where the therapeutic relationship is built gradually through clear communication.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify personal values, and take meaningful action despite uncertainty - it can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist provides empathy and support so clients can explore their experiences and grow at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other common concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These formats allow for greater flexibility in scheduling, consistent access to support between sessions, and the ability to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
