Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship where the client's priorities lead the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and supporting each person to find their own solutions, making it well suited to concerns like relationship challenges and adjustment to life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance and skill-building to help with emotion regulation, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for intense emotions and patterns that interfere with relationships or daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to find the most effective path forward.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from wherever the client is located. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to provide consistent, goal-focused work that supports progress between sessions.
