Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Michelle uses client-centered therapy to make conversations feel respectful and focused on what matters to each person. That approach helps people feel heard and choose goals that match their values.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT-style work helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule care around daily life and to keep momentum when making changes.
