How Michelle’s approaches translate to online care

Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to put the person's concerns first and shape sessions around what matters most. That means conversations begin with your goals and move at a pace you find comfortable.

She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and mood regulation by offering practical exercises and homework between visits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also part of her toolkit for managing intense emotions and improving coping. DBT provides straightforward techniques for handling strong feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Michelle will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs and preferences. Together you’ll set goals and try options that can be adjusted over time based on what helps.

Confirm the specific online session formats Michelle offers before booking. If a format suits your routine, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals tailor the way they use these formats so sessions focus on practical tools and steady progress.
