Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her approach. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that supports clients in exploring their goals and values and finding their own solutions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which is useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can draw from multiple strategies and adjust the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options allow therapists to deliver consistent care while accommodating varied schedules and communication preferences, supporting continued progress without requiring travel.
