How Michele's Approaches Shape Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. Michele listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Michele uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events on daily life. Michele uses trauma-focused ideas to help people process painful experiences and reduce symptoms that interfere with functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. She adapts techniques as the relationship grows and the goals change, keeping the plan collaborative and flexible.

Confirm the platform’s session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy works around caregiving and work demands. Michele aims to match approach and schedule to practical life needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all format.
