Background and approach
She also offers support for adults managing attention differences such as ADHD and for people working through depression or loss. Her work draws on approaches that center the person and aim for small, measurable changes. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps for setting concrete goals.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people feel calmer in stressful moments. Over her career she has helped people recover from trauma, grief, and long seasons of struggle. She emphasizes learning skills that can be practiced between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment.
The goal is increased calm, greater confidence, and a clearer sense of purpose. Michelle blends practical skill teaching with steady encouragement. She often frames growth as a series of small steps toward more balance in physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual life.
The work aims to strengthen resilience and nurture hope even after hard experiences.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and helps people find their own answers; this approach is helpful for those wanting more self-understanding and support.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage stress in daily life.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and mind in stressful moments. These techniques help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed and can be paired with other strategies for coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they try options and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face connection, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to try different formats as needs change.
