Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and teaching concrete strategies to shift those patterns; this helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication, intimacy, and handling blended family or commitment concerns.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
