How Michelle’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and improving everyday engagement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practice between sessions, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions mix practical skill-building with time to discuss how changes are going in daily life.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or ask quick questions between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and caregiving responsibilities.
