Approaches that guide online care and therapeutic work

Michelle integrates several practical therapeutic approaches to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, supporting clients who struggle with abandonment, trust, or closeness issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michelle works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Michelle offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed therapist who tailors care to each client’s situation.
