Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clearer on what matters and then take small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and when life changes make priorities unclear.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use skills learned in sessions right away in their daily routines. Licensed professionals can guide you through practical tools and exercises that translate well to remote sessions, and Michele will help match the style of therapy to what you want to accomplish.
