About Michelle
Dr. Michelle White is a California licensed psychologist with seven years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She has worked across settings including independent practice and community mental health, providing individual and group psychotherapy as well as psychological assessment services. Her background includes assessment work related to ADHD, autism, depression, intellectual developmental disorder, generalized anxiety, and OCD.
Her therapeutic practice blends psychodynamic perspectives with cognitive behavioral techniques, drawing on attachment and object relations ideas to understand patterns that shape current difficulties while using practical strategies to address symptoms.
Areas she commonly supports include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, with additional attention to abandonment, attachment issues, isolation and loneliness, self-love, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety and phobia. Dr.
White emphasizes a collaborative stance, viewing clients as experts on their own stories and building on existing strengths to meet challenges. She recognizes that reaching out for therapy is a courageous step and aims to create a respectful, thoughtful environment that helps clients move toward clearer goals and more effective coping.
Integrating Insight and Skills in Online Therapy
Dr. White draws on psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns formed by early relationships and attachment, helping clients identify recurring themes that influence current feelings and behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, offering tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she will work with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend elements from both perspectives as treatment evolves. This shared process helps clarify priorities and tailor interventions that feel meaningful and doable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across distance and daily life demands while accessing licensed professionals who can support symptom management, increased self-understanding, and practical coping strategies.
