Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Michelle
Michelle frequently integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and personal growth; it is helpful for improving self-esteem, relationships, and motivation. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
She also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit the person and the situation. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work is practical and aligned with the client's priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility to meet in ways that fit a busy life - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, attend sessions around work or caregiving schedules, and use brief check-ins or longer appointments depending on what will best support progress.
