About Michelle
Michelle Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or grief.
Background and approach
Michelle focuses on practical steps people can use day to day and emphasizes respect and steady support in the therapeutic relationship. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative approaches, and the Gottman Method to address communication, intimacy concerns, and conflict.
Sessions center on clear goals, small changes, and learning tools that fit each person's life. Michelle pays attention to attachment and self-esteem as drivers of how people relate to others and to themselves.
Her work includes helping people manage panic attacks, postpartum depression, bipolar challenges, and relapse prevention for addictions. She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, infidelity, and career stress.
Michelle frames problems as changeable and looks for strengths to build on. Therapy is paced to each person.
Michelle aims to create a steady, caring environment where people can try out new ways of relating and thinking. She encourages realistic goals and hopeful stories about the future.
People who want concrete tools, clearer communication, and steadier emotional connection may find her approach helpful. Michelle offers sessions in English and works with clients in New York as well as international clients online.
Practical approaches for online relationship and anxiety work
Michelle commonly uses the Gottman Method to help partners improve communication, manage conflict, and build shared goals; this approach focuses on concrete skills couples can practice between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with balanced actions, which is helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional connection and attachment needs, helping people name feelings and ask for what they need in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day to day life. Sessions often blend techniques so people learn tools that actually fit their routines and relationships.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing communication while phone sessions can ease bandwidth or camera concerns. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check ins, ongoing support, and when scheduling shorter contacts during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and travel.
