Background and approach
Michelle uses methods that help with thinking patterns, emotions, and relationship habits. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Attachment-Based ideas to strengthen emotional bonds.

Online support
Therapy approaches and online support
Michelle often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants a clear plan for changing behavior. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early bonds affect current relationships and reactions. That approach helps when communication problems, abandonment concerns, or trust issues are part of the struggle. When working online, Michelle treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences, and then recommend a mix of methods that seems likely to help. Finding the right fit is part of the work together. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can fit a work break or low-bandwidth situation, and messaging or live chat can be used for short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options let people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into busy lives.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
