Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values and take committed actions that move life in a meaningful direction. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections with others. By exploring attachment history and relational dynamics, this approach supports work on abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and deeper relationship healing.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and genuine support, helping people build self-understanding, self-esteem, and agency as they work through challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a plan drawing from approaches used by licensed professionals and therapists to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage ongoing support between sessions, and access help from home or another convenient location.
