Approaches Michelle Uses and How Online Therapy Works
Michelle draws from several evidence-informed approaches to support clients remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own insights and growth, which can be especially helpful for relationship, parenting, and self-esteem issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that help reduce emotional reactivity and improve coping with difficult feelings.Finding the best fit among these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as treatment progresses so the plan reflects what works best for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, providing flexibility in timing and format while maintaining a consistent course of care.
