How Michelle Uses Talk Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist helps people name goals and directions while offering empathy and reflection to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and handling stress in the moment.

Choosing an approach is often part of early sessions. Michelle will work together with each person to find which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life is hectic. It also lets people focus on skill practice and problem-solving from wherever they join, with shorter or longer conversations as needed to match schedules.
