How Michelle applies evidence-based techniques online
Michelle commonly uses mindfulness and behavior-focused techniques in her work. Mindfulness means short attention and breathing practices to help notice feelings without reacting, which can reduce the intensity of anxiety in social moments. Behavioral techniques involve breaking goals into small, repeated steps and practicing new behaviors to change how situations feel over time.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michelle will help figure out which methods fit based on a person’s goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels doable. She checks in and adjusts the plan as people try techniques between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also work better when less bandwidth is available or when a person prefers not to use video. Ask about current options when scheduling so sessions can fit into everyday life.
