How Michelle works
Sessions aim to build clear coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and strengthen meaningful connections. Michelle holds an MD, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC, and is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC. She practices from Vermont and conducts work online using video, phone, chat, and messaging.
Sessions are delivered in English. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, eating and food-related concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career challenges, and parenting strains. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
People can expect a warm, direct style that balances talk and practical exercises. Michelle explains skills, practices new responses together, and checks how strategies fit real life. The aim is to leave each session with something to try between meetings.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability through the Start Therapy process. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making decisions that match personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It works well for depression, anxiety, and problems with eating and self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend and try techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be lower bandwidth, live chat supports real-time typed conversation, and text messaging is useful for brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
