Therapy approaches that translate well online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk through difficult feelings and make sense of their experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles with focus and organization, and many everyday problems.

The Gottman Method brings structured tools for improving communication and resolving conflict. While often used around relationship issues, its skills can help anyone who wants clearer conversations and better emotional understanding.

Michelle treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will work with each person to figure out what feels most helpful based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That collaborative process means the approach can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and teaching interactive skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit help into busy lives and to keep regular progress.
