About Michelle

Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. She avoids labels and focuses on what feels useful to each person. Her work blends life coaching with clinical care to help clients move toward clearer goals.
Dr. Harris pays attention to the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and tries to keep conversations grounded and relevant. She listens for patterns that contribute to stress, burnout, or grief and helps clients experiment with new ways of coping.
The emphasis is on simple steps that fit into everyday life. She has supported people through relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse, as well as career and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach includes problem solving, emotional support, and goal-setting to promote steady progress.
Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which lets clients find a format that fits their routine. If someone wants a guided, compassionate collaborator to work alongside them, she encourages an initial step to explore fit and goals.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Dr. Harris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching to help people make practical changes. Person-centered methods focus on listening and building goals together, helping people clarify values and next steps for stress, anxiety, or life transitions. Holistic practices bring attention to mind and body routines, which can support recovery from compassion fatigue or help manage grief and anger.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying conversational coaching for a few sessions, then adding more structured strategies if needed. The plan evolves based on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep consistent appointments, follow through on goals, and check in between sessions when useful. The combination of flexible access and collaborative planning can make it simpler to work toward steady, achievable change.
