About Michelle
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building usable coping skills. She uses straightforward talk, skill practice, and reflection so people can manage hard emotions and daily demands.
Michelle draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based work. These methods guide how she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.
She often addresses problems like intrusive thoughts, impulsivity, guilt and shame, communication struggles, and mood instability. In session she helps people set short-term goals, learn strategies for emotional regulation, and explore what gives their life meaning.
Clients meet someone who favors clear, practical steps over abstract talk. Michelle helps people break big problems into manageable parts. She encourages steady, observable change rather than quick fixes.

How Michelle uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for those feeling stuck or uncertain about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep symptoms like anxiety and depression going. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to try methods and adjust them based on goals and preferences. She mixes talking, practical exercises, and at-home practice so people can test what helps between sessions.
