Approaches for Online Care and Healing

Michelle draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and coping; this approach can be helpful for people working through relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, or family-of-origin issues. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can support recovery from trauma and related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool she employs - it helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so clients can develop more effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
