Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that feel doable. She avoids labels and treats each person as an individual. Her approach blends methods that fit the person rather than one narrow technique.

That can mean exploring attachment patterns, using cognitive-behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, or trying mindfulness practices to reduce stress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools also appear when they match a client's aims. Michell often helps people work through family problems, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

She also supports people dealing with fertility questions, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, and forgiveness work. Sessions aim to build skills and regain a sense of control. People who choose her can expect clear, practical suggestions alongside emotional support.

She tailors plans to each person and adjusts as needs change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect clients to her practice.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors between meetings.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients often mix methods, for example combining CBT tools with attachment work or mindfulness practices to suit changing needs.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, parenting, or other commitments.
