Remote therapy methods and access
Michelle uses several structured approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to address symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skill-building for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present.
These approaches are offered in a collaborative format where the clinician and client set goals together and practice skills between sessions. This work can be helpful for people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, life changes, or ongoing stressors, and it is tailored to each person or couple's needs.
Michelle provides services through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the communication method that fits their routine and comfort while engaging with the selected therapeutic methods.
