Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Michelle Wygant integrates several evidence-based approaches that adapt well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood, which can be especially helpful when navigating grief, stress, life transitions, or feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and practice new skills for coping and problem-solving. This structured style can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stressors. Motivational Interviewing adds a collaborative, goal-focused way to work through ambivalence, strengthen follow-through, and build momentum for change when motivation feels hard to access.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and then tailors the pace and tools to fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent, fit sessions around a busy schedule, and access support from the comfort of home.
