Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Michelle Nitschke draws from approaches that can be effective in an online setting, especially when clients want practical tools and a supportive relationship with their therapist.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. It is often structured and goal-oriented, with strategies clients can practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and honoring the client’s perspective, helping people feel understood while they clarify what they want to change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape coping and connection, which can be especially relevant for relationship concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the pace and methods to support steady progress in a way that fits.

Online therapy offers flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This can make it easier to get consistent support, stay engaged between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule or changing routines.
