Approaches that guide online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach she draws on focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with manageable alternatives. This helps with anxiety, obsessions, compulsions, and mood concerns by breaking cycles that keep problems in place.Another approach centers on building coping skills for stress and trauma-related reactions. This work emphasizes grounding, emotion regulation, and pacing so people can regain stability after difficult events. It is useful for trauma, addiction recovery, and adjusting to major life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person's situation. If an approach doesn't feel right, they adjust the plan and try other techniques until it makes sense.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a conversation is needed without video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily rhythms.
