Online support

Approach and access for online therapy

Michelle blends Jungian therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and life stories to help people find deeper meaning and shifts in identity. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking committed action toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-based work examines patterns from early relationships to improve current connection and communication in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful rather than fixed, and clients help guide which tools feel most relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when in-person visits are difficult.
