Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Michele Keller uses evidence-informed methods that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then develop practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood; it is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and self-compassion, supporting clients who struggle with rumination, stress, and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then tailors techniques from these modalities to create a plan that fits the individual’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access a licensed professional from home, work, or while managing busy routines. This variety of formats supports ongoing care and allows clients to choose the mode that best fits their life and therapeutic goals.
