Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Michelle offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to connect with clients across a range of concerns. In remote meetings she aims to maintain the same collaborative, person-centered stance she brings to in-person work, supporting practical steps and deeper self-reflection.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clarify values and identify actionable steps that align with what matters to an individual. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns of relating and family of origin dynamics, exploring how early bonds influence current relationships. These approaches can be combined depending on presenting concerns.
Client-Centered methods prioritize empathic listening and collaboration, while the Gottman Method offers tools for communication and relationship work. Jungian and Existential perspectives are available for clients interested in meaning, identity, and deeper symbolic material. Together, these methods allow for a tailored, collaborative process conducted via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
