Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online

Michelle Magee-Lopez, LMFT, draws from approaches that can work especially well in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, respectful space where clients set the pace and explore what matters most. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and times of change when it is hard to know where to begin.

Narrative Therapy helps clients examine the stories they have learned about themselves and their relationships, then reshape those stories in ways that better reflect their values and strengths. This approach can be useful when guilt, shame, grief, trauma experiences, or family dynamics feel defining. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical next steps and existing resources, which can support clients who want clearer direction around coping skills, relationships, or day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what is most helpful in sessions, adjusting the approach as needs evolve.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and changing routines.
