Therapeutic approaches and online support
Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, and it can be particularly helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered as a structured method to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by teaching practical skills and coping strategies.
Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to help people develop present-moment awareness and calm, practical techniques for managing stress, intrusive thoughts, and emotional reactivity. These practices can complement other therapeutic work by building resilience and self-regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity of care, and engage in therapy from different settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
