Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michelle Stanton White integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to support clients in making practical changes while keeping the therapeutic relationship central. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration, helping people feel understood so they can explore values, motivations, and emotional needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve uncertainty and strengthen commitment to change when ambivalence is present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Michelle works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She views treatment as a joint effort and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can deliver many of the same therapeutic tools via these formats, and Michelle adapts her approach to the medium to help clients move toward their goals.
