Online support

How Michele’s Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their emotions and patterns in relationships. Online EFT work focuses on identifying interaction cycles and creating new ways to reach out and connect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings and commit to values-driven actions. ACT online often uses brief exercises to practice noticing thoughts and choosing small, value-aligned steps between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or DBT skills best fit their goals. That decision is based on symptoms, personal preferences, and what seems most likely to produce helpful change in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues for relational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice new skills between meetings.
