Remote therapy options and approaches
Michelle Slater is certified in telemental health counseling (BC-TMH) and provides sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are used to match practical needs and communication preferences while maintaining the therapeutic focus on the client's goals and concerns.Client-Centered Therapy shapes the collaborative frame. In this approach Michelle emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace so that each person’s priorities guide the work. That orientation can suit people who want an exploratory, empathic space to examine feelings, values, and meaning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers a more skills-based path when addressing patterns of thought and behavior related to stress, anxiety, ADHD, or coping with life transitions. For relationship work she incorporates the Gottman Method to attend to communication patterns and problem-solving between partners. Michelle adapts these methods to form a joint plan with each person or couple, choosing video, phone, chat, or messaging as appropriate to the process.
