She works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as the expert of their own story. Michelle communicates in plain language and focuses on practical next steps to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She has licensure in Maine and South Carolina and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common struggles. Sessions emphasize building confidence, improving motivation, and developing coping skills for life changes. Michelle also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and workplace difficulties.

Pregnancy and childbirth are included among the areas she pays attention to, and she helps people navigate the emotional shifts that can come with that time. Other areas of focus include grief, post-traumatic stress, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work often centers on clearer communication, healthier self-love, and finding purpose when things feel stuck.

Michelle aims to create a collaborative space where goals are concrete and progress is measurable. She encourages small, achievable steps and uses straightforward language rather than clinical jargon. This approach makes it easier to apply what’s discussed in sessions to everyday life.

People who choose her are usually looking for steady support through transitions and practical tools to cope. Michelle’s style is supportive and encouraging while keeping attention on real-world changes that matter.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online therapy

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and regain balance. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, pacing daily tasks, and planning small behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm. These tools are useful for managing short-term stress and for steady work on persistent anxiety.

Another frequent emphasis is grief and life-change work, where sessions provide space to name losses, track emotional patterns, and try new ways of remembering or moving forward. This approach supports people during pregnancy and childbirth transitions, chronic illness, caregiver strain, or after traumatic events.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the client’s life.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm available formats before booking because the original biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so more consistent progress is possible. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between appointments.
