She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy ideas when they fit the person's goals. The emphasis is on practical strategies people can apply to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on clear tasks, tracking patterns, and trying different responses between meetings to see what helps most.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their own goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when readiness for change is a focus; it helps people weigh options and find personal reasons to try new strategies.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean emphasizing CBT’s behavioral experiments for anxiety or using motivational interviewing when a client wants support to make a change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or caregiving, require less travel, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you need a quieter setup, lower bandwidth, or a brief focused session, discuss those preferences when you schedule to see what can be arranged.
