How Michele Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Michele commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps them name what matters most. This approach can help with building trust, making decisions, and feeling more understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. It often uses simple exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That makes sessions feel more collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio in ways that suit their comfort, and support working on skills and reflection in real time with a licensed professional.
