Therapeutic approaches and online session options

Michele commonly works with client-centered therapy, attachment-based approaches, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting environment where the client’s own goals and insights drive the work - it is useful for building self-esteem, confidence, and emotional resilience. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating formed in close relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and repairing relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michele works collaboratively to determine the best fit based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, combining elements of different approaches where that will better support progress.

Online therapy with Michele is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving roles. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working toward your goals.
