How Michele’s Approaches Work Online

Michele uses client-centered work to listen closely and shape therapy around each person's needs. This approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and building sessions around their goals. It can be helpful for people who want a collaborative, empathetic space to talk through life problems.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT helps break larger issues like anxiety, depression, or unhelpful coping into smaller steps and practical exercises that can be done between sessions. That makes progress easier to track when meeting online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will discuss options and choose methods that match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person's situation rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter updates, questions between sessions, or when someone prefers typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same practical approaches Michele brings to in-person work.
