Evidence-Based Support for Stress, Trauma, and Life Change

Michelle Forgey uses proven, practical approaches to help clients manage stress and anxiety, recover from traumatic experiences, and adjust to major life transitions. Skills-based interventions focus on teaching concrete tools for regulating emotions, reducing worry, and improving daily functioning - they are well suited for people coping with persistent anxiety or situational stress. Trauma-informed strategies emphasize paced processing of difficult memories and symptoms while supporting safety and stabilization, which can help people reclaim a sense of control after abuse or traumatic events. Support for life transitions draws on techniques that promote problem solving, meaning-making, and building routines that align with new roles and goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Michelle partners with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care from a distance and make it easier to access regular support during busy or transitional periods.
