Online care and therapeutic methods



Michelle blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing when working remotely. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical strategies to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills. Motivational interviewing supports exploration of ambivalence and strengthens internal motivation for change.

These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so that the person and clinician decide together which methods will guide the work. Those who prefer a structured skills focus may gravitate toward cognitive behavioral techniques, while clients seeking support for intense emotions or relationship stress might find DBT strategies helpful. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels uncertain or when enhancing commitment is a priority.

Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and schedules.
