Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Michelle Evans integrates practical, skills-focused methods that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practice new responses, which can be useful when working on stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or coping with major life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships, offering structure for clients who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in repeating cycles. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that supports clarity and follow-through, and it can be especially helpful when someone feels ambivalent about change, including around substance use or other habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to improve, what has or has not helped before, and what feels realistic right now, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit their goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexible options for different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles.
