Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Michelle Spencer
Michelle Spencer integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore values, self-esteem, and life direction. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by building practical coping strategies. DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and goals best fit their needs, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time.
