Approaches That Translate to Online Care
Michelle uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting environment in which the individual’s values and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is useful for people navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-exploration.
She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses each method with clients, considers their needs and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time so the selected techniques align with personal goals.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to meet when and how it fits a person’s life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove geographic barriers, and live chat or text-based messaging provide convenient options for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating different schedules and comfort levels.
