Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle Harmolin integrates Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into their online practice. Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients as they explore their values and identity, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, identity exploration, and relationship concerns. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a useful approach for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and conflict in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan that evolves over time.

Online therapy with Michelle includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from wherever clients are, while still receiving structured, goal-oriented support from a trained therapist.
