Background and approach
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work without jargon. Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. Sessions look at thoughts, behavior, and routines that make life harder.
Then she and the client pick small changes to try between meetings and review what helps. Michelle also addresses attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, chronic health issues, and topics like adoption or aging concerns. She pays attention to how past hurts affect current reactions and helps people find practical ways to cope.
People who prefer straightforward feedback and clear goals often find this style useful. Michelle aims to create a respectful space where clients set the pace and priorities. She speaks English and works with clients in Missouri.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Michelle uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One approach looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; it helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Another approach emphasizes coping skills and routines for stress, trauma, and daily functioning, teaching concrete tools to manage overwhelming feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She reviews what is working and adjusts the plan together so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls let people use visual cues and do focused work similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging help with quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
