Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It is about building trust, reflecting feelings, and supporting each person's own goals so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-focused; it helps people notice patterns of thinking that cause distress and try small behavior changes to feel better.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will help clients explore which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in without scheduling, and text-based messaging supports short updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
