Online sessions that combine collaboration and practical strategies



Michelle uses an approach that emphasizes collaboration and evidence-informed methods. She works with clients to identify patterns contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or addictive behaviors, then introduces practical strategies aimed at changing unhelpful habits and strengthening emotional regulation. This approach is intended to be a partnership: the client and clinician set goals together and track progress over time.

In addition to goal-oriented skill work, Michelle offers a supportive space for processing difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, and loss that often accompany trauma and interpersonal problems. The focus is on helping clients understand their reactions and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others while building coping tools for everyday challenges.

Online appointments are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the communication format that fits their needs. These options support ongoing collaboration and make it possible to continue therapy when in-person meetings are not practical.
