How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the client and creates space for people to share their thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs an accepting listener who follows their lead and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clear tools to try between sessions.

Motivational interviewing supports change by helping people clarify their own reasons for taking steps forward. It can be helpful for addictions and any situation where someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they set small, achievable steps and adjust as progress is made.
