Therapeutic techniques and flexible online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing.

For mood and anxiety concerns she uses skill-building strategies that teach breathing, grounding, and thought management techniques to help manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they set priorities and adjust techniques over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
