Therapeutic Approaches Michelle Molina Uses Online

Michelle Molina integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and helps clients explore their values and goals while the therapist listens and reflects; this approach is useful for building self-understanding and strengthening self-worth. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges; it is often applied to problems like worry, low mood, and daytime functioning.

She also uses motivational interviewing when clients are weighing change or feeling ambivalent; this approach helps clarify personal motivation and supports realistic, achievable steps forward. Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Michelle includes options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These modalities allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, make sessions more accessible, and adapt treatment to each person’s life circumstances.
