About Michelle

Background and approach

Michelle draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She uses mindfulness tools to help people notice thoughts and break unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term planning and steps people can try between sessions.

Clients who work with her often focus on reducing substance use, managing intense emotions, improving sleep, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and issues rooted in family of origin or workplace culture. Michelle aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment so people can speak honestly about what’s going on.

She supports practical change rather than vague reassurance, helping people set realistic goals and try small experiments that move them forward.

Online support

Practical approaches for online healing

Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and the negative thinking that can keep people stuck.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to build a person’s own reasons for change. This approach is helpful when motivation is low or when someone is ambivalent about changing substance use or other habits.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. Michelle will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what works. The process focuses on small, practical steps so progress is clear and measurable.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or camera use is unwanted, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
