About Michele
Michele Manyko-Baranowski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and attention-related challenges. Michele speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to start.
She uses client-centered ideas to make sessions about the client's goals. Michele listens for strengths and builds on what is already working. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
How Michele works
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. That method helps clarify values and boosts the drive to take realistic next steps. Michele combines these approaches into simple, practical steps rather than long lectures.
Common topics she addresses include communication problems, family stress, impulsivity, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, workplace issues, and difficulties with concentration and focus. Sessions often include talking through patterns, setting small goals, and practicing new skills between meetings. Michele aims to make the process steady and understandable.
She supports people as they try new strategies and checks in on progress. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than fixing problems for them. It helps people feel heard, identify their own goals, and build on strengths to move forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by sharpening motivation and setting small, achievable steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process might start with listening closely, trying one approach for a few sessions, and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is a way to check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing work between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day needs.
