Background and approach
Michelle aims to make steps feel manageable so people can try new coping skills between meetings. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people choose small, workable changes. That might mean building routines to aid concentration, practicing ways to reduce anxiety in the moment, or developing strategies to reduce substance use.
She uses techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods suited to the issue at hand. Michelle also works on relational and personal themes like attachment concerns, abandonment, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She can help people address body image, guilt and shame, codependency, and recovery from domestic or substance-related problems.
Her style is supportive and direct. She helps set clear goals, tracks progress, and adjusts plans when needed. Michelle accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with anxiety, depression, addictions, and attention difficulties. One commonly used approach focuses on building practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as learning breathing and grounding techniques and planning steps to reduce avoidance. Another approach targets habits and routines to support attention and motivation, helping clients set small, repeatable tasks that improve focus and memory over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She reviews what helps and adapts the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and aligned with what the client needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, homework support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
