How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Michele uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s needs. That means sessions begin with listening and building a plan based on what matters most to the client. This approach helps with emotional pain, coping with life changes, and feeling heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and managing stress. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time based on what is working and what needs to change. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people talk face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These remote formats make it possible to keep therapy consistent during life changes and to try practical strategies between sessions.Start online instead of waiting
