Background and approach

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, attachment-based thinking, and a client-centered stance. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs. The aim is practical change rather than labels or jargon.

Michelle has practiced with people from many backgrounds and life stages. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and meets clients where they are. Conversations are paced to the person’s comfort and priorities.

For people who worry about taking the first step, Michelle keeps the start simple. She helps clients clarify small, manageable goals and creates a plan to reach them. The focus is on steady progress and finding approaches that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving how you handle stress and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with you to choose techniques that match your goals, needs, and preferences. Together you will try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits your day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or to share thoughts in writing. These formats increase flexibility and make regular support easier to maintain alongside school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
