Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Michelle directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Michelle often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories they repeat. This approach helps someone see how their life story was shaped and supports new, more empowering narratives. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which prioritizes listening, acceptance, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time and combining elements from different approaches when it makes sense.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options help make regular therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
