How Michelle works
Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness practices, and techniques to address attachment and trauma-related patterns. Michelle holds the LMHC and the LIMHP credentials and has three years of counseling experience. Her background includes work with hospice and geriatric settings, which shaped her approach to end-of-life concerns and caregiver stress.
She brings experience with addictions, first responder issues, and family of origin challenges. Therapy sessions mix conversation with practical exercises. Clients may learn coping skills, emotion regulation techniques, and ways to change unhelpful thinking.
Michelle also uses narrative approaches to help people reframe difficult life stories and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. She works with people who identify as LGBT and those facing isolation or major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building more supported ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear, step-by-step skills to change unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.
Michelle approaches the choice of method collaboratively. She will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest approaches that fit those priorities. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is tracked.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy lives.
