Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and on building practical skills to manage symptoms. One common element is cognitive-focused work, which helps clients notice and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns so they can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and make clearer choices. Another element is skills-based and behavioural work, which teaches tools for managing cravings, reducing avoidance, improving mood, and coping with triggers related to addiction or trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each client to explore their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with Michelle is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and connect with a therapist from different locations. The combination of flexible access and evidence-based techniques aims to support steady progress toward clients' goals.
