Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michelle blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on what matters most to the person, while CBT offers clear steps to shift thinking and reduce symptoms such as worry or low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward goals. ACT can be helpful for life changes, chronic worry, and frustrations that keep people stuck.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick support between sessions, or an alternative when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
