About Michelle
She has nine years of clinical experience across community mental health, in-home therapy, and outpatient settings. That background means she has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, eating issues, trauma, and substance use. Michelle also supports people navigating parenting strain, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment worries, and recovery from separation or divorce.
Her style is individual-focused and solution-minded. Sessions typically center on understanding what matters to the person, identifying small, practical changes, and testing approaches that fit daily life. Techniques often draw from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and brief solution-focused strategies.
Michelle places strong emphasis on the relationship in therapy. She aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings, rethink patterns, and develop clearer plans for change. She encourages clients to bring concerns about intimacy, communication, self-esteem, career strain, or compassion fatigue into sessions.
If someone wants to begin, Michelle asks them to use the provider’s matching process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She invites questions ahead of booking so people can feel comfortable about next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and a space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and small steps that lead toward change rather than spending long periods on the past.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That decision can shift as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to an office. They also let people work with licensed professionals from their current location, which can help maintain continuity of care during life changes.
