How evidence-based methods guide online work

Michelle uses well-established therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and help people manage specific problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when feelings are uncomfortable; it can be useful for life changes and purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels practical, trying approaches in session, and adjusting as needed based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue regular work on coping skills and communication from their everyday routines while coordinating care with a licensed professional.
