Remote care using client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods

Michelle combines client-centered Therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working remotely. The client-centered approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for individuals to set their own goals and to reflect on what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides structured tools and exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new ways of responding to stressors.

These two approaches can be used together to balance supportive listening with practical skill building. Michelle works with children, teens, and adults and tailors sessions to fit where someone is in their life, whether addressing anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, or trauma-related themes. She focuses on identifying stressors, strengthening personal resources, and developing coping strategies through an interactive process.

Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how people engage. Prospective clients can discuss which communication method best matches their needs and preferences at the start of care.
