How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
Michele uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's own goals and feelings. This approach means the therapist listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them, then follows the pace they set.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact. That work involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT is useful for stress, social anxiety, phobias, and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts tools and pacing based on feedback so the plan stays practical and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family, or travel.
