04Online support

CBT-based care and flexible online sessions

Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and social fears.

Her approach pairs CBT techniques with supportive conversation and collaborative planning. She will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits into their life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video lets people practice conversations with real-time feedback, phone calls can be lower-tech when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and communication styles while keeping the focus on practical progress.
