Background and approach
She helps clarify what is most troubling and breaks larger problems into smaller, manageable steps. Sessions include learning skills to cope better and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, accepting space where clients can talk without judgment.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns and try new ways of responding that reduce anxiety and improve mood. These approaches are used together to match what each person needs. Her background includes long experience with workplace stress, parenting challenges, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and issues connected to identity and relationships.
She also works with people facing social anxiety, midlife questions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Michelle supports people in English and sees clients who live in Michigan.

How therapeutic approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist listens closely. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, which can be especially helpful when sorting through relationship stress, identity concerns, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and make day-to-day problems easier to handle.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for longer sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
