Online support options
Approaches that guide online work and skill building
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values, helping people feel heard and guiding decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help with intense feelings and relationship conflicts.Michele will collaborate with clients to find the best approach. She starts by asking about current problems, goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try approaches, track progress, and adjust methods based on needs and preferences so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice new skills in session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions and get brief coaching or homework support. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
