About Michelle
Dr. Michelle White is a California-licensed psychologist with seven years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She has worked across independent practice and community mental health settings, providing individual and group psychotherapy. Her training spans psychodynamic approaches grounded in object relations and attachment theory as well as cognitive behavioral techniques, and she applies these methods when supporting people facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and mood concerns.
Dr. White approaches therapy with respect for each person's knowledge of their own life and an emphasis on building strengths.
She has focused attention on issues such as stress, ADHD, self-esteem, coping with life changes, abandonment and attachment concerns, loneliness, self-love, sexual assault and abuse, and social anxiety. Her manner is collaborative and trauma-sensitive, inviting clients to take an active role in shaping therapeutic goals and the steps used to reach them.
Located in California, she offers services in English and works with a variety of presenting concerns. Prospective clients can expect a clinician who combines reflective exploration with practical strategies to address symptoms and life challenges while honoring personal resilience and agency.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is often useful for addressing stress, social anxiety, and difficulties with coping in day-to-day life.Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that develop from early relationships and attachment experiences, offering a way to understand recurring emotional reactions and relationship struggles. This approach can be helpful for people working through trauma, abandonment concerns, or deeper self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. White aims to collaborate with clients to determine whether more skills-based CBT, reflective psychodynamic work, or a mix of both best matches a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans evolve based on progress and the client’s priorities.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people connect from different locations within California. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support.
