What Michelle works with
Everything Michelle lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Michelle's practice.
Practical approaches and online care
Michelle commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and learn new ways of responding. CBT is hands-on and provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, rumination, and learning to pause before reacting. When motivation is a barrier, she may draw on motivational interviewing techniques to help clarify goals and build readiness for change.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. That plan may change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options help people maintain momentum and access support in ways that suit their schedules.
