Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports the client in discovering their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and practical problem solving by teaching skills that can be applied day to day.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused technique that helps process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of painful reactions associated with those memories. It can be appropriate for people coping with trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Michaela will help tailor interventions and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Michaela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support and practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into a busy life.
