How Michele’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Michele uses this approach to shape sessions around each client's priorities and pace, which helps people feel more understood and involved in decisions about care.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress. Michele uses CBT techniques for issues like anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating problems to build practical skills and shift daily patterns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices pair well with CBT tools to help people notice triggers and choose different responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Michele will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat makes brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day.
