Online therapy approaches and options



Michelle brings a person centred orientation to online sessions, focusing on the priorities and values of the individual. That approach means conversations are guided by what matters most to the person seeking support and by their goals for change. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced according to each person’s needs.

She also identifies as strengths based, which highlights existing skills and resources. In practice this looks like noticing what already works for someone and building on those strategies. A trauma informed lens is used to recognize the effects of trauma and to shape the way sessions are structured and paced.

Online appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow flexibility in how people connect and support different styles of communication. Michelle works with each person to determine which format best fits their preferences and the goals of therapy.
