Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Mental Health Care
Dr. Michelle Turnbough uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients guide the goals of their care; this approach helps people feel heard and supports work on relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental method that helps people find personal motivation for change and is especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Turnbough works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and actionable.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life, access support from other locations, and maintain continuity of treatment when in-person visits are not possible.
