She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and life changes, and lists anger among her areas of focus.

She emphasizes clear communication and a strengths-based way of working. That means she looks for what is already helping you and builds on those skills. Conversations are nonjudgmental and direct, with practical steps you can try between meetings.
Michelle often helps people who are wrestling with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, sleep problems, workplace pressure, or career concerns. She also notes experience with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues related to LGBT identity and veterans. These topics are addressed through focused talk and goal-oriented planning.
Her style favors respectful, sensitive interaction while keeping sessions focused on actions and decisions. Michelle aims to help clients develop motivation, confidence, and better ways to handle impulses and control issues. She also supports people navigating financial stress, seasonal mood changes, and isolation.
For someone who snaps at loved ones or gets stuck in resentful thinking, she offers practical conversation and tools to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Michelle describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear communication and skill building. One common method focuses on strengthening coping skills and stress management so clients can reduce reactivity and handle frustration more effectively. This approach helps with anger, anxiety, sleep disruption, and workplace stress.Another approach centers on building motivation and self-esteem through goal setting and small, practical tasks between sessions. That method is useful for impulsivity, low confidence, and problems that come from feeling stuck. A brief trauma-informed focus may be added when past events affect current reactions, helping people notice patterns and try different responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit best for the client's goals, symptoms, and preferences. Expect a collaborative process that may try a few methods and adjust based on what helps.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, fit shorter check-ins into a break at work, avoid commuting, or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help therapy integrate with everyday routines.
