Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values. It often involves learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. It can support stress management, sleep difficulties, and improved focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques thoughtfully and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to meet clients where they are - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling more convenient, support consistent engagement during busy periods, and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not possible.
