How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people decide what matters most so therapy fits their life and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful habits and ease anxiety or mood struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often shortened to DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication and impulse control. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or when more frequent short contact helps maintain momentum.05Questions people ask
