Background and approach
Michelle draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person's values and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are brought in when someone wants focused change or help deciding their next steps.
Over ten years of work in counseling has exposed her to a variety of concerns, including depression, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. She also offers support around workplace stress, communication problems, and coping with divorce or separation.
People who are dealing with social anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, or feelings of isolation may find practical tools and steady support in sessions. Michelle aims to meet each person where they are and help them take manageable steps toward feeling better.
How counseling approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. In practice this means sessions start with listening and building understanding, then shaping goals that feel meaningful to the client. This approach helps with anxiety, life changes, and confidence issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches specific strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can fit different routines and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible ways to stay connected between meetings. These options make it simpler to use therapy around work, family, and daily life.
