Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Michelle Wenzler draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work feels relevant and achievable. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to tailor care to each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists to use conversational and skills-based work effectively.
