Background and approach
She also helps people repair communication problems and explore forgiveness when hurt keeps them stuck. Michell draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. That can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace, and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
She may also use Motivational Interviewing to build drive, or Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals. Over ten years of practice have shaped a flexible, goal-oriented way of working. She aims to build confidence so clients can try new behaviors between sessions.
Conversations are practical and focused on small, doable steps. People who reach out can expect an emphasis on self-love, life purpose, and finding clearer communication. Michell keeps explanations plain and offers techniques that fit everyday life.
She meets people where they are and helps them move forward on realistic timelines.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective first. In practice that means conversations follow the client’s goals and pace, helping them feel heard while deciding what matters most. It is useful for people who want support that adapts to their comfort level.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through practical exercises. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching people to test beliefs and try new behaviors between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments happen as needed, so the plan can change if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging make short check-ins or ongoing support easier. These options help people fit therapy into their schedule and stay connected between meetings.
