Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor support to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while developing skills to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with abandonment concerns, relationship difficulties, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, evidence-informed strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time to match what is most helpful.
Online therapy with Michelle is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, while allowing sessions to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
