How Michaela works
Clients work on habits, thought patterns, and small changes that add up over time. Michaela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to map small, achievable steps toward clear goals.
For people shaped by past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process difficult memories at a manageable pace. Her practice includes support for issues connected to adoption and foster care, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, self-love, traumatic brain injury, women’s issues, and concerns common in young adults.
Michaela is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and has about seven years of professional experience in clinical settings. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress, with a focus on what clients can try between sessions.

Online support options
How treatment approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions guide people to try small changes, test new ways of thinking, and practice different behaviors between visits to see what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is working and what a person wants to see happen next. In remote sessions the therapist and client set clear, short-term goals and use practical exercises to build momentum toward those goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily life. When offered online the pace is set around the persons comfort, and sessions include grounding and coping tools to use between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem at hand to choose or blend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or do shorter check-ins between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.Start online instead of waiting
