How Michelle Uses Practical Therapies Online

Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to test small behavior changes that can improve mood and stress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and many everyday struggles.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust so people feel understood while they work on change. For people with intense emotions or self-harm impulses, Michelle may use skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal coping.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions, share notes, or get prompts for homework. These options help therapy fit around work, family, and daily life.
