Online support
How approach and online work come together
Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and Gottman Method ideas into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are hard, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early attachment shapes current relationships, which helps with intimacy struggles and communication problems. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving interaction patterns and building stronger day-to-day habits in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit best. That process is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching specific skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick reflections, progress updates, or coaching-style prompts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family life, or travel.
