About Michelle
Michelle aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She prioritizes collaboration, helping each person identify their goals and the small steps that lead toward more fulfilling day-to-day life. Seeking help can feel daunting, and Michelle acknowledges the courage it takes to begin that process.
Her approach is supportive and empowering, focused on helping clients build coping skills, clarify values, and find practical ways to move forward. Michelle offers ongoing encouragement while helping clients reflect on patterns, emotions, and relationships so they can make changes that feel right for them. She is available to accept new clients and works with international clients when appropriate.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Michelle draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers reflective support - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship questions, and making sense of difficult emotions. CBT works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss different techniques, try approaches together, and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care from different locations, and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional in a way that suits each client.
