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.
