What Michele works with
Everything Michele lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Michele's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Michele uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address strong emotions and behavior patterns. One approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety through step-by-step strategies and calming practices. This helps people reduce daily overwhelm and manage worry more effectively.Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and working with intense feelings like anger and grief by identifying triggers and developing alternative responses. This helps people interrupt unhelpful cycles and try different behaviors in real life.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments and keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
