Focus areas and approaches

Everything Michelle lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and recovery. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce stress and anxiety; this involves identifying manageable steps clients can take between sessions to feel steadier. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which looks at how past hurt affects current reactions and teaches ways to respond differently to triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. Together they will try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan so it stays useful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when a written reflection helps the person process thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
