Online therapy approaches and how they help

Michell uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also practices client-centered therapy, providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work and strengthen self-awareness and personal growth. Additionally, attachment-based ideas can be used to explore relationship patterns and healing from early wounds, which is often helpful for intimacy, family, and attachment concerns.

Michell approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and invites clients to shape the focus of therapy so the work feels meaningful and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent care, continue progress between meetings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
