Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical steps to live in line with those values. It often involves building psychological flexibility and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects the client’s experience to foster self-understanding and growth. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating difficult life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist explore which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists can also connect via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each individual.
