About Michelle
She starts by listening to your story and treating you as the expert on your own life. From there she co-creates a plan that fits your needs and circumstances. That plan can include skill-building, mindfulness practices, and tools to manage strong emotions in the moment.
Michelle uses straightforward methods drawn from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work. She also blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people find what matters to them and take workable steps toward those values.
In sessions she emphasizes honesty, patience, and steady support. She offers techniques for handling panic, improving communication, and coping with chronic illness or pain. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, and relationship endings.
Her background includes helping people affected by domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, and post-traumatic stress. Michelle aims to build a strong working relationship so clients leave with clearer goals and practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, chronic illness coping, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your experience and priorities, offering a supportive space to clarify goals and make decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools together, checking what helps, and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose quieter times that work around medical appointments or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Michelle adapts exercises and mindfulness practices so they fit daily routines.
