How Michelle works

She offers clear goals and straightforward strategies for coping, communication, and relapse prevention. The tone in sessions is supportive but direct, focused on real change. People who want practical tools and a collaborative therapist often find her approach useful.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage mood or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges arise, and the plan will be adjusted together.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people maintain visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs more frequent support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping consistent momentum.
