Supportive, skills-based therapy you can access online
Michelle Parker draws from approaches that emphasize both compassion and practical change. In Client-Centered Therapy, sessions focus on understanding the client’s perspective and creating a supportive space where goals can become clearer over time, which can be especially helpful when navigating stress, grief, or major life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and actions influence one another. CBT can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, such as when dealing with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may also be incorporated to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be useful when anger or intense emotions feel hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle collaborates with clients to tailor therapy based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as life changes and new insights emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable day to day.
