Background and approach

She offers encouragement while helping people make small, meaningful shifts. Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, relationship communication problems, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

She also works with people dealing with isolation, questions of life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and challenges related to pregnancy and childbirth. Her approach emphasizes clear goals and realistic steps. She helps clients build better coping skills for workplace strain, self-love, and women’s issues.

The focus is on practical strategies that can be used between sessions and adjusted as life changes. Michelle practices from Maine and accepts international clients. She uses language that is straightforward and compassionate.

The work is intended to support people through grief, stress, and transitions while helping them rediscover confidence and direction.

Evidence-based techniques for online support

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and tools. One approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching practical breathing, grounding, and problem-solving steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets grief and depressive symptoms by helping people process loss, restore routine, and re-engage with meaningful activities to rebuild hope and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation guides which techniques are tried and how they are adjusted over time to fit changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let therapists observe expressions and body language for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules or shift work. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
