How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and low mood because it focuses on values and action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then practicing different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depressive symptoms, and eating-related concerns because it gives clear skills to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Those skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal communication, which people often find helpful during stressful periods.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick and adapt methods based on their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and practice of new skills. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or more frequent contact between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
