Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it can help with stress, low mood, and challenges like ADHD that make following goals harder.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage sleep problems, and address unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems going.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the therapist listens and reflects what matters to the person. This approach supports self-awareness and confidence so clients can choose changes that fit their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest ways to combine methods that fit each person. That process is collaborative and adjusts as needs evolve.

Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
