Background and approach
She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-driven choices. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, keeping the person’s experience central. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change, especially around substance use.

She also supports those coping with isolation, guilt, and compassion fatigue. Her work aims to strengthen coping skills and rebuild confidence.

How Michala’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change actions, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance so the person feels heard and can lead the pace of change.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Michala talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the therapy fits the person’s life and values.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and flexible communication between longer sessions.
