Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, self‑esteem and identity questions such as LGBT and gender dysphoria related worries. In sessions she focuses on practical ways to reduce distress. She uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thinking, test new ways of coping and rebuild confidence.

Michelle blends talk and simple exercises so clients can try things between meetings and see what helps. Her style is warm and direct. She encourages clear goals and small experiments that fit daily life.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and a calm listening ear often find this approach useful. Michelle offers a mix of online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text‑based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Michelle’s approaches work online

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your experience without judgement. The therapist listens attentively and helps you find your own solutions, which is helpful for building self‑trust and clarity when anxiety feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new coping strategies, which can reduce worry and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as you progress. The emphasis is on trying practical steps together and adjusting what doesn’t help.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use face‑to‑face interaction when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not convenient or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text‑based messaging allow shorter check‑ins or a written record of reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
