She seeks to create moments where clients can slow down, check in with themselves, and take the courageous first steps toward change. By offering a supportive environment, she aims to help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation and to assist clients in discovering greater self-understanding and relief within their lives.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people understand their emotional needs and improve how they relate to partners, family members, and close others, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and relational patterns to strengthen bonds and resolve conflict. It supports couples and individuals in expressing core feelings, rebuilding trust, and creating more secure emotional connections.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping individuals process painful memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and related stress responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michaela works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in exploring different methods and tailoring work to each person’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access therapists from home or elsewhere, fit care into busy schedules, and continue work between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and adapt therapy to changing life demands.
