Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michell Roberts integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to uncover their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life purpose, and working through communication or forgiveness issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce stress and anxiety and support coping with depression or life transitions.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows the therapist and client to test approaches, adapt techniques, and prioritize practical strategies that feel meaningful to the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access regular support during busy or transitional periods while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
