How Michele’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Michele often uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on hearing your concerns first and shaping sessions around your goals, which helps when addressing issues like low self esteem, relationship doubts, or grief.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and shifting patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment, which can support stress management and sleep problems.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time for appointments.
