Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your view, and building a trusting space so you can talk through what matters. It helps when you need support and someone to reflect your experience without judgment.

CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect each other. Michelle teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. This approach can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, adjust as needed, and focus on skills that feel useful in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work, and other responsibilities. The format also allows for ongoing skill practice between conversations and quicker touchpoints when difficulties arise.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
