How Michelle Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Michelle commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. CBT focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and testing new, more helpful responses to problems like depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and unhealthy coping. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach concentrates on boosting a person’s own reasons for change and building momentum one step at a time. Together, these methods aim to turn insight into practical actions clients can try between sessions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Michelle will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. Clients set priorities and try techniques, then reviews show what helps most.
