Online Therapy Informed by Practical, Evidence-Based Approaches
Michelle Newton, LMHC, draws from several therapy models to support concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma-related struggles, parenting stress, and ADHD.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that keep them going. It helps clients practice more balanced thinking and workable coping strategies for everyday stressors, worry, and relationship conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially useful when anxiety, painful memories, or chronic stress pull someone away from their values and goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection, boundaries, and trust, which can be helpful for couples, families, and individuals working on communication or emotional closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the pace and tools to support steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions around parenting and work demands, and choose a format that matches comfort level and communication style.
