Background and approach

Michell blends approaches that focus on how people connect, what they think, and what they do. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness and motivational techniques help people build small, steady habits. Sessions are geared toward everyday life. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and check progress.

Parents can get concrete tools for behavior and communication without feeling judged. She offers services in Florida and speaks English and Spanish. Michell emphasizes respect and sensitivity, avoiding labels that make people feel small.

Her aim is to help people feel more capable and more in control of their choices. To begin, she guides people through simple steps and tailors plans to each situation. The focus is on small, achievable change that fits a person’s life and responsibilities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how people relate to others and how early patterns show up now; online sessions can use conversations and role-play to notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new thinking and behavior between sessions.

The right approach is something the therapist and client choose together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines to pick techniques that fit the person's life. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant instead of one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick coping strategies, scheduling, and maintaining momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
