About Michele

How Michele’s Approaches Translate Online
Michele uses client-centered work to follow each person's lead and build on their strengths. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying values, and supporting what a person already does well, which can help with goals like improving relationships or career decisions.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers concrete steps and skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed; these teach practical ways to handle strong feelings and improve communication.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then adjust methods as needed. That joint planning helps tailor sessions to career concerns, parenting pressures, trauma recovery, or everyday coping.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, timing sessions around work breaks, or avoiding travel to an office. Online sessions can also let a therapist use worksheets, skill practice, and guided exercises that support progress between meetings.
