How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on learning practical skills and processing difficult emotions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teach concrete strategies for reducing anxiety and improving mood. Exposure and coping skills work can help with avoidance and anxiety patterns by practicing manageable steps toward feared situations.She also uses approaches that help people process painful experiences and grief. These methods involve talking through the impact of past events, identifying unhelpful patterns like self-blame, and rehearsing alternative ways of relating to memories and triggers. The goal is to build tools that can be used outside sessions to handle everyday moments when guilt or shame arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle discusses options with each person and together they identify what fits the client’s goals, preferences, and current needs. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized in sessions and what homework or practice will be helpful between meetings.
