How Michelle’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building rapport so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs time to process feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing supports a person’s own reasons for change by highlighting strengths and small steps forward; it can help when motivation feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what a person wants to accomplish.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can support skill practice between meetings and quick check-ins when a shorter session helps during a busy day. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and technology. Licensed professionals can make meaningful progress through focused online sessions when the format fits a person’s life and goals.
