Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related issues.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behaviour. It helps people understand relational needs and repair patterns in close relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works with the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other common concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best match.

Online therapy with Michele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access registered professionals from varied locations and can support ongoing, consistent engagement in therapy.
