Background and approach

She approaches work with clients who are navigating depression, relationship or family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and other life transitions, using practical strategies to build coping skills and strengthen emotional resilience.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Michelle uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's perspectives and goals, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore feelings and identify strengths. This approach supports work on relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief and other issues by centering the client's experience and pace.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, ADHD-related challenges and mood symptoms. CBT provides concrete tools for coping and problem-solving that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family or other commitments, and allow clients to access therapy from wherever they are located in Florida.
