Michelle Weber , LMFT

Michelle Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She focuses on helping people wrestling with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and issues common to women. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at finding usable steps people can try between sessions.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship and emotional concerns. Sessions often include skills practice, clearer communication strategies, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Michelle blends those methods with mindfulness and narrative ideas to help clients tell a different story about themselves.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, body image, and intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people facing bipolar mood challenges, postpartum depression, panic, and seasonal mood shifts. The aim is to build small, realistic changes that add up over time.

Michelle takes a collaborative approach. She and the client agree on goals, try practical exercises, and track what helps. Progress is paced to fit each person's life and commitments.

Before scheduling, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then pick session times that work for them. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, including for international clients.

Online approaches that help relationships and mood

Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with actions that change mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing stressful daily tasks.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to name and respond to emotions in close relationships. EFT helps people improve emotional connection and handle conflicts with greater understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and pace. They try an approach, check how it feels, and adjust as needed so the plan fits real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video gives face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text let clients check in between sessions or use shorter check-ins during busy days. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and travel while maintaining consistent progress.
