Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michelle Gallo uses several well-established approaches to help clients make meaningful change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's unique experience, creating space for clients to explore feelings and find their own solutions; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through targeted exercises and problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for stress, panic symptoms, and coping with grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation. The plan evolves as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home, work, or wherever a client feels most able to engage, supporting continuity and convenience in the therapeutic journey.
