Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in a way that is easy to use over video or messaging. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and values, then take small actions toward what matters most. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and understanding so clients can find their own solutions and feel heard.Michelle treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so the work fits daily life and real responsibilities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions can fit a break during a busy day, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people keep momentum and bring therapy into everyday routines.
