How Michelle Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Michelle often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. Client-centered work means sessions begin with open listening and respect for each person's goals, while CBT offers tools for changing patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship and intimacy concerns, helping people identify core emotions and improve how they connect and communicate with others. These approaches are chosen together with the client so therapy fits the issue and personal preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, adjust strategies as needed, and set clear short-term goals. This makes sessions more practical and easier to use between meetings.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging offer quick check-ins or flexibility during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
