How Michelle’s approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at your pace. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and reflecting it back so you feel heard and respected. This approach is helpful for building trust and addressing emotional strain including anxiety and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress in concrete ways.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with you to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She aims to combine listening with practical steps so progress is steady and measurable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between tasks. It can also let you choose shorter check-ins or standard sessions depending on need. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire so sessions can be planned to match your schedule and goals.
