Background and approach
Michelle emphasizes strengths people already have and how to use them when life gets hard. Michelle has worked with people navigating serious illness and caregiver stress, so she understands the challenges that come with medical and end-of-life issues. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic pain or disability, workplace stress, and relationship or communication struggles.
Grief and feelings of isolation are common topics she helps people manage. Her methods include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behavior. Michelle blends gentle listening with practical tools so sessions feel both compassionate and useful.
She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Michelle is licensed in Illinois as an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) and brings experience and a steady approach to each session.
How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters most, and helps set small, practical steps to move forward. This approach is useful for people needing support during loss, life transitions, or times of stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Michelle uses CBT tools to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. This method is often applied for anxiety, low mood, and workplace or relationship stress.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Michelle will discuss options and try techniques that match each person’s needs and preferences. Together they check what’s working and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, quick coping strategies, or ongoing check-ins between sessions.
