Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Connection

Michelle Wildy, MD, LCSW-C draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when worry, self-criticism, or overwhelm starts to shape daily life.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients clarify values and take meaningful steps forward while making room for difficult emotions. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) adds practical skills for grounding and steadying attention, supporting people who want to reduce stress and feel more present in their lives and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most helpful, then adjusts the plan to fit their goals and preferences.

Online therapy makes it easier to access care with flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing support to fit around work, caregiving, school, or changing schedules while still maintaining continuity over time.
