How Michele uses practical therapy approaches online

Michele uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often focuses on clear, short-term goals like managing anxiety or improving sleep. She also works with dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for strong emotions and relationship stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can change as someone tries new skills and notices what helps most.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice mindfulness and homework exercises in their usual environment while working with a licensed professional to track progress.
