Approaches that guide online sessions

Michon blends expressive arts work with structured, evidence-based techniques to support change. Expressive arts uses creative activities like drawing or storytelling to help people access feelings and make sense of experiences, which can be helpful for trauma, grief, or identity concerns. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on noticing and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michon listens to a person's goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. She aims to find strategies that feel useful and manageable in everyday life, rather than imposing a single method from the start.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel, helping people keep momentum between in-person visits when those are available.
