She offers concrete tools for building better routines, managing impulses, and addressing substance or behavioral addictions. Work can include addressing body image, eating-related concerns, chronic pain or illness, and caregiver stress.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, and habits related to addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early relationship history affects current communication and trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals, helping people clarify values and make concrete changes.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and try approaches that fit the client's needs. She blends practical skill-building with attention to emotional experience and relationship patterns rather than insisting on a single method.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel time. If international scheduling is needed, coordinate time zones when setting up the first appointment.
