How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She adjusts tools and exercises based on how a person responds and what feels most helpful in real life.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on a work break, or avoid travel time. It also lets clients practice skills in their everyday environment while getting coaching and feedback from a licensed professional.
