How Michelle’s approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist reflects concerns back, validates feelings, and helps clients set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out relationship or parenting issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thinking patterns and behaviors. It often includes homework exercises and skill practice that can reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address panic or stress reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in real-life situations and bring those experiences back to therapy for feedback and refinement.
