About Michele

She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy concerns, career stress, and attention difficulties. Michele greets new clients with respect and a calm presence.
She encourages the first step toward getting help and recognizes it can feel hard. She uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. Conversation and listening come first.
How Michele works
Michele works with each person to shape goals and a plan that fits their life and situation. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems in place and to small changes that make daily life easier. Over 25 years she has practiced in multiple care settings and holds both a Master of Social Work-level license and a clinical social work license.
Her credentials are LMSW and LCSW. Michele is licensed in Michigan and Nevada and practices from her Michigan location. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotionally-focused techniques.
That combination helps people understand feelings, shift unhelpful thinking, and improve important relationships. Michele adapts these methods to each person rather than offering a single set path. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

How Michele's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship; it helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on the role of emotions in relationships and individual distress, helping people name feelings and change interaction patterns to feel more connected.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into daily life. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy going despite work, caregiving, or travel.
