How Michelle’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Michelle often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the person's priorities so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teach concrete skills to change them.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies to help manage strong emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills include grounding, distress-tolerance techniques, and step-by-step tools for handling conflict and urges. These methods are helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set small, practical goals and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work - video calls for a full session, phone for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, live chat for quick back-and-forth, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or travel, and to practice skills where they are needed most.
