About Michelle Farias
Michelle favors beginning care with a video meeting as a way to establish rapport, though she works within each client’s preferred communication method including phone or chat. She aims to respond to messages during weekdays and checks communications twice a day Monday through Friday, but she does not monitor messages on weekends or holidays. For safety, she does not conduct sessions when a client is driving or riding in a vehicle.
Her approach draws on well-established therapeutic methods and a collaborative stance, helping clients set goals and build practical skills to manage symptoms and restore a sense of purpose. For resources and more about her background, Michelle maintains an additional website at https://www.michellefarias.com/. If a client believes they are in crisis or need immediate help, she notes that resources such as 1-800-273-TALK or calling 911 are available 24 hours a day.

Approaches to Online Therapy and Practical Benefits
Michelle integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and creating a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the process. This approach is helpful for building trust, exploring identity, and clarifying values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and address workplace or social fears. Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotional regulation and coping with grief or caregiver strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the treatment fits the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to continue therapeutic momentum between in-person commitments. Licensed professionals can tailor session formats and tools to the client’s situation so therapy remains practical and accessible.
