Approaches and what online therapy looks like

Michelle draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging strategies to reduce intense symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Another practical method centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction cycles and practicing new ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to understand their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then tailor which techniques to use. That shared planning helps make sure therapy fits the client rather than feeling imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for conversations that need visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, managing mood between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and help people keep momentum between appointments.
