About Michelle
Michelle uses practical therapy methods to help people manage strong emotions and make change. She draws on acceptance and commitment principles to help clients notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Her background includes 17 years of clinical work and a long history supporting people with eating-related issues, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Michelle has supervised other clinicians and has experience assisting parents with adolescent behavioral challenges. Her combined experience supports work around family-origin issues, codependency, dissociation, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English and Michelle does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
People who choose Michelle can expect a conversational style that balances emotional support with practical tools. She aims to meet clients where they are and to help them build skills for coping with life changes, intimacy concerns, and ongoing stress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and take small steps toward what matters to them, which can ease stress and uncertainty. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. Decisions about which tools to use are revisited over time so the plan stays relevant.
The practical value of online therapy is that it can fit into a busy life and make it easier to keep appointments. Online work may help when scheduling around kids, work, or travel, or when a shorter check-in is needed between in-person visits. Because session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking to know whether phone or video is offered. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and DBT skills for remote sessions, guiding breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice that clients can use between appointments.
