People who choose her often want calm, clear guidance and practical tools. Michele works with adults who need help navigating loss, family issues, codependency, caregiver stress, or mood concerns. She invites people to take the first step and offers steady support along the way.
Approaches that help guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore their goals and values. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to make sense of strong feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It includes practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving day-to-day stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels most helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Ask how sessions are scheduled and whether a shorter check-in or a longer appointment might fit your needs. Online work can make it easier to fold appointments into a busy life - for example during a lunch break or between errands - and lets people try tools and homework that transfer to everyday routines.
