Therapeutic approaches and working online
Michelle often draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding a person’s perspective, and helping them set their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through stressors and clarify what matters to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replace them with strategies that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. CBT is commonly chosen for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related problems because it targets the behaviors and thoughts that maintain those issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and comfort level. That can mean trying CBT techniques for sleep and anxiety while keeping a client-centered emphasis on what feels most useful.
