About Michelle

Michelle Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a few evidence-informed methods to help clients develop practical coping skills, restore connection in relationships, and reframe unhelpful patterns that contribute to depression, addictions, bipolar mood struggles, and other concerns. Michelle brings three years of professional experience to her practice and works with adults and couples across a variety of personal and relational difficulties.

Her clinical style emphasizes collaborative, solution-oriented work that combines cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused and narrative interventions. She uses mindfulness strategies to support emotional regulation and incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when addressing couple dynamics such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, and intimacy-related issues.

Michelle aims to create a respectful, supportive space where clients can identify strengths, build realistic goals, and experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused techniques when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and support mood regulation; it is practical for stress management, panic, and depression. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reorganizing emotional responses within relationships, making it useful when addressing couple conflict, intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right fit is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as needed to prioritize what feels most helpful and doable for the client.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose formats that align with their schedules and comfort levels, while keeping the work focused on practical tools, emotional understanding, and improved relationship patterns.
