How Michelle uses CBT and related approaches online
Michelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thinking patterns and test new behaviors in daily life. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, short behavioral experiments, and practical homework to change mood, sleep, or routine problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and prioritize the client’s perspective. That approach involves reflective listening and helping the person clarify what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to strengthen commitment to change; it focuses on exploring reasons for change and building internal motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. She explains options, tries approaches in session, and checks progress together so adjustments can be made.
