How Michelle’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions let Michelle follow each person’s pace and build trust through steady, empathic conversations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In remote sessions Michelle helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practices simple exercises to test new behaviors between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Michelle can teach short grounding and emotion-regulation techniques during video or chat sessions so people can try them in everyday moments.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michelle discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as work unfolds. She checks in about what is helping and what needs to change so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video is useful for full discussions and practice work, phone can be a simpler check-in, chat is handy for brief exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
