How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical, skills-focused ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow, which can reduce irritability and improve mood. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for managing strong reactions like anger.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in each person's goals. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; Michelle will work with the client to test methods, adjust homework, and refine strategies based on what fits their life and goals.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, whether by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, or enabling sessions during a lunch break. Discussing pacing, practical homework, and how skills will be practiced between sessions is part of planning the work together.
