Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Michelle Smith draws from evidence-informed methods that can support clients who want to feel more grounded, self-trusting, and equipped to handle stressors and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable ways of responding, which can be especially useful when anxiety, low mood, or self-criticism take over.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward what matters most. Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility and choose actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy also offers a lens for understanding how early relationships can shape current needs, boundaries, and relationship patterns, supporting clients who want healthier connection and a stronger sense of self.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and pacing, adjusting the work over time to fit what is most helpful.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits real life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients stay engaged and consistent, even during busy or stressful seasons.
