About Michele
Michele Holden is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone reading on a phone. Michele brings ten years of experience in Montana and centers the conversation on what matters to the individual.
She focuses on everyday concerns such as worry, social anxiety and phobia, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and depression. Sessions emphasize practical skills that can be used between meetings and short exercises to reduce tension.
Background and approach
Michele also offers coaching-style support for people who want clearer goals and more motivation. Michele uses a client-centered way of working that puts the person's goals and values first. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
This combination aims to be straightforward and action-oriented without losing attention to personal experience. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps plan small steps forward. People leave with concrete strategies to try and a clearer sense of what’s working.
Michele explains tools in simple language and checks in about progress as part of each visit. Her practice includes a range of remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. She works in English and is based in Montana.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.
How Michele’s approaches work online
Michele blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in teletherapy. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's goals; this helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks worries into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like social anxiety and persistent worry.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Michele will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The plan can shift over time so the work stays relevant to day-to-day life and progress is reviewed regularly.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions and check in when talking by message feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family schedules, or calming moments during the day.
