She supports those working through divorce and separation and those seeking to build more self-love and healthier boundaries. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Michon uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep problems repeating.She also uses dialectical behavior techniques that focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills can be useful for managing strong emotions, impulse-related concerns, and relationship stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michon works with each person to see which techniques match their goals, values, and daily life. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Online therapy with Michon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people have face-to-face conversation when possible. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing connection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or remote living schedules.
