Background and approach
She practices from Vermont and offers sessions in English. Her work often focuses on stress, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach blends emotionally-focused work with acceptance-based strategies and skills training.
In sessions she helps people notice feelings, name needs, and try small behavior changes between meetings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and on dialectical skills for managing strong emotions. Michelle has a long history supporting people with eating and food-related issues and assisting parents who are navigating difficult behaviors with adolescents.
She is familiar with concerns such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and dissociation. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that fit their calendar.

Online support
How emotionally focused and acceptance-based work translates online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and partners notice core emotions, express needs, and build closer, more stable connections; it is useful for relationship distress and intimacy-related pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, nonjudgmental therapy relationship where people feel heard and can explore concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Sessions may mix emotionally-focused work with acceptance exercises and practical skills depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in, live chat supports quick exchanges, and text messaging is helpful for people who prefer writing or need asynchronous support. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to try strategies in real settings.
