Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practice new ways of responding to stress and relationships. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Another approach looks at early attachment and family of origin influences to clarify why certain relationship and self-worth issues keep repeating, which can help with abandonment, codependency, and commitment concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferred pace, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and make adjustments as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work practical and focused.
