Michelle Weber, LMFT - Therapist in New York

About Michelle

Michelle Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and mood struggles. She works with adults and couples who are worried about stress, anxiety, depression, or communication problems. Michelle uses clear, practical steps in sessions so parents and partners can try small changes between meetings.

She relies on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method to help people manage conflict, rebuild connection, and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also part of her toolbox when they match a client's goals. Sessions are centered on respectful listening and realistic, doable plans. Michelle brings three years of professional experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, practicing in New York.

Her background includes work in outpatient settings and community-based care that shaped her focus on relationships and mood. She aims to meet clients where they are and move at a steady, manageable pace. In therapy she helps clients identify patterns in families and relationships, improve communication, and develop healthier ways to cope with stress and grief.

Practical skill-building and stronger connections are common aims across her work. Michelle emphasizes collaboration. She helps people find what works for their family and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods to fit each person's needs and values.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work

Michelle often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method when working with relationships and family dynamics. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to manage conflict, rebuild emotional connection, and set shared goals in partnerships.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners understand and express core feelings and attachment needs. EFT focuses on creating emotional safety and stronger bonds by identifying patterns that keep couples stuck and then reshaping those interactions together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what a client and their family need most.

Online therapy gives flexibility for busy families and partners. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone, live chat, and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and work lives, and they let therapists use the same evidence-based approaches in a way that fits each household.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
