Remote session options and therapeutic approach
Michelle offers online care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support therapy that fits different schedules and communication preferences. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the therapist and client working together to choose the pace and methods that align with the client’s priorities and needs.
Two common methods Michelle uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. She also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when appropriate.
