About Michelle
She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. Michelle draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and from mindfulness to help people stay present. Motivational interviewing and narrative work also appear in her practice to support change and make sense of painful histories.
Her background includes community mental health work across a range of settings, including both mental health and substance addiction services. That experience has involved outpatient and inpatient work and a variety of client situations. Michelle adapts plans to fit each person’s needs and refers on when someone needs specialized care beyond her scope.
Sessions focus on clear goals, usable skills, and realistic next steps. She aims to help people handle everyday demands and major transitions with more confidence. Michelle practices in Texas and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Michelle often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT gives practical exercises and clear steps to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and alter mood over time.Mindfulness therapy is another common element in her work. It teaches simple attention practices and breathing techniques that help reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management.
She approaches motivational interviewing by focusing on a person’s own reasons for change. That style helps when motivation is mixed or when someone feels stuck about substance use, routines, or major life shifts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
