Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at skills people can use between meetings. Michelle has worked in university, business, and independent practice settings over a 12-year career. That range gives her experience helping people at different life stages and professional points.
She developed a specialty in career counseling while also addressing communication, grief and loss, and confidence building. In sessions she draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her tailor work to immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, concrete tools, and a focus on small, achievable steps. Michelle offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. People who choose to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of each session. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity about what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and reduce anxiety or low mood through practical exercises.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on concrete goals and what is already working. Sessions often move quickly to identify small steps that create noticeable improvements in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when being on camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
