Online support

Meaning, Storywork, and Online Care

Michelle uses Existential Therapy to help people face big life questions and find personal meaning when routines or roles feel empty. That approach can be useful for clients coping with grief, career shifts, relationship crossroads, or any time a sense of purpose feels unclear.

She also draws on client-centered techniques, which emphasize close listening and responding to each person's unique experience, and narrative therapy, which helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves to open up new options. These methods suit concerns like self-esteem, family of origin issues, codependency, and multicultural or identity-related stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit those needs. Adapting the work over time is part of how progress is measured and maintained.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules. Video allows more visual connection for deeper conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
