Background and approach
She also helps people notice patterns in relationships and behavior that get in the way of feeling better. Michele draws from several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She often blends attachment-focused work with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavior strategies.
That mix supports emotion regulation, clearer communication, and problem solving for everyday struggles. Her background includes long experience with addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, grief, caregiver stress, and parenting concerns. Michele also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer caregiving, adoption and foster care issues, and life transitions such as divorce or retirement.
Sessions are aimed at building coping skills, reducing shame, and improving self-esteem. Michele helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and try new ways of relating. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person's situation.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michele often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when trust, closeness, or repeated conflicts are part of the problem.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person's lead so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adapts the mix of approaches as progress and new issues emerge so therapy stays aligned with what matters to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for full sessions that need face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to work through quick steps between longer sessions. These options let people connect from different places and schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
