About Michelle
Michelle Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns. She works with adults facing depression, addiction, grief, intimacy struggles, self-esteem difficulties, and career questions.
Background and approach
Michelle practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. She blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with emotionally-focused ideas to help clients notice patterns and change unhelpful behaviors.
She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship conflict and improve emotional connection. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are used to help people shift their stories and reduce reactivity.
Michelle aims for short, concrete steps that people can try between sessions. She focuses on communication skills, problem-solving, and rebuilding trust after hurts.
When relevant, she works on attachment concerns, body image, forgiveness, and shame to help people feel steadier in relationships and in themselves. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.
Michelle emphasizes respect and a steady therapeutic relationship while helping people identify values and practical goals. Her background includes clinical work in outpatient settings and independent practice, and she brings three years of post-qualification experience to her work as an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist).
Clients who choose her can expect a clear focus on everyday changes - better communication, fewer panic spikes, or a gentler self-view. She helps people build tools for coping with life transitions and for reworking old patterns into more hopeful narratives.
How EFT, CBT, and Gottman Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions, then use that awareness to deepen connection or reduce reactivity. It is often used for relationship strain and for people who want clearer emotional communication.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood changes, and stress that get in the way of daily life.
The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns, conflict management, and rebuilding trust. It can help partners share goals, break negative cycles, and increase positive interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let therapists read cues and work on communication, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping a steady course of care.
