Therapeutic approaches and working online
Michelle often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions that drive relationship patterns and relationship distress. EFT focuses on naming feelings and re-patterning interactions that create distance or conflict.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early attachment patterns influence current reactions and relationships. This approach can be useful for people who notice repeating trust, abandonment, or avoidance issues. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, which emphasizes listening closely and following the client’s priorities in sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss options and help decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That conversation is part of the early sessions and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
