Approaches for trauma and everyday challenges online
Michelle uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to support clients remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress and sleep problems. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce symptoms such as flashbacks and intrusive images. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship - the therapist follows the client's lead and supports exploration of feelings, relationships and identity in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss options with each person and tailor a plan together, taking into account presenting concerns, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen methods feel comfortable and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions happen. Video calls and phone sessions enable face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit therapy into busy lives, while keeping the focus on practical support and progress.
