How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Micki commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-centered work focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce anxiousness and interrupt intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Micki will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That process is guided by the client's needs, preferences, and practical goals rather than a fixed formula.

Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they fit your schedule and situation. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to use mindfulness exercises and values work in the context of everyday routines so therapeutic work can be practiced between sessions.
