Online therapy approach
Michelle McDaniel uses evidence-based treatment modalities alongside culturally affirming practices to guide online work. Evidence-based modalities refer to structured strategies and interventions that are guided by research and clinical experience, presented in a way that is practical and skill-oriented. Culturally affirming practices mean she aims to acknowledge and respect each person’s background and values when selecting and adapting those strategies.
Therapy with Michelle is collaborative: she works together with participants to set goals, choose tools that make sense for their situation, and rate progress over time. That fit helps determine whether to emphasize symptom-reduction techniques, coping skills for life changes, or focused approaches for grief and self esteem.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing participants to select the communication style that best supports their engagement and comfort.
