How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to each person. That looks like sessions focused on your priorities, honest feedback, and practical steps you choose together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Sessions use simple exercises to change thoughts and behaviors so daily reactions become easier to manage. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication techniques that many people find useful during stressful times. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to collaborate so the plan fits each client rather than imposing a single method. Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, phone sessions can be a quick check-in with less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates or check-ins between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while handling everyday demands.Questions people ask about Michelle
