Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor online work to each client's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action that aligns with what matters most; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connection and trust - it can support those struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then adapts methods so the work feels practical and relevant. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be refined over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent care around work, family commitments, or mobility needs, while maintaining continuity of support when life gets busy.
