How Michele’s approaches translate to online care

Michele often uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping the work around the client’s goals, which helps people who want a supportive, person-focused process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches simple, practical strategies that can be practiced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will help clients decide whether a skills-based plan, mindfulness practices, or a values-driven goal plan fits their needs. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift over time as goals change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice techniques in their usual surroundings and bring concrete, real-life situations into the conversation without promising a particular delivery method.
