About Michelle

Michelle has ten years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and body image. Her approach is client-centered, which means she adapts the work to each person's pace and priorities.
In visits she helps people identify values, set small goals, and practice new ways of coping. She also uses techniques from cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to reduce distress and build skills for daily life. Conversations are practical and focused on what helps between sessions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. Online sessions can use this approach to talk through big questions about identity, purpose, loss, and life transitions in straightforward conversation that leads to concrete next steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking committed actions even when emotions are difficult. In remote sessions ACT techniques can help someone notice unhelpful patterns, practice acceptance exercises, and set small behavioral goals between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Through discussion and skill-building in online sessions, a person can learn to recognize attachment patterns and try new ways of connecting and communicating with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match goals and preferences to methods that feel useful. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into breaks. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across busy schedules and different time zones.
