Therapeutic approaches and how online work supports them

Michelle draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to support people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. It is useful for mood, anger, and daily habits that get in the way of feeling better. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead, creating space for honest talk and decisions that fit each person’s life.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that match what they want to change. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, and busy schedules. The variety of formats also means people can pick the way of talking that feels most comfortable as they try new skills and work toward small goals.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
