Background and approach
Her approach centers on understanding attachment patterns and on listening without judgment. Sessions aim to identify stuck patterns, improve how people relate to others, and reduce feelings of shame or isolation. Michelle uses practical skills alongside conversations about values and meaning.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that balances emotional care with hands-on tools. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when the focus is on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Michelle also uses emotionally-focused methods to address relationship and intimacy issues. She believes change comes from both learning new skills and making sense of past experiences. Her practice supports steady progress toward clearer goals and more satisfying daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. It can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and recurring relationship problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's lead so people feel heard and understood while they sort out their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and small homework tasks that fit well into remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods matches their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for relational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy routines and different life situations.
