How her approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then they will try methods that fit the person's pace and needs, adjusting as they go in collaboration.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some formats also let people choose audio-only options when less bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Discussing practical arrangements is part of the first steps so sessions can match everyday life.
