Approaches for Online Care and Personal Change
Michelle uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's experience guides the work; this approach helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and strengthen self-directed coping. She incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - a practical method often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Michelle also draws on the Gottman Method when working with couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection through evidence-informed exercises and skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual or couple.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage ongoing work or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists experienced in virtual care.
