How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address concrete problems. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of reacting; this can help with anxiety, depression, and low motivation. Behavioral techniques target daily routines and habits, such as sleep schedules or impulse control, to produce small, practical changes that add up over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which techniques to try. This collaborative process helps match methods to the issues you bring, whether that is parenting strain, workplace stress, or trouble sleeping.
