Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michelle Lakefield draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping people feel heard so they can explore their feelings and values and build self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Solution-focused therapy helps clients set clear goals and identify small, actionable steps that move them toward those goals in a relatively brief timeframe.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so that treatment remains relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to fit care into busy schedules and access licensed professionals from different locations. This range of options helps make consistent support more accessible for those juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
