Background and approach

Michele previously worked more than 15 years in the travel industry, living and traveling across the US and Europe. That background shaped her cultural awareness and openness, and she draws on it when listening to different life stories. She has worked in independent practice and in intensive outpatient settings, so she is familiar with both short-term and ongoing care.

People come to Michele for a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and stress, including low self-esteem, parenting and blended family issues, chronic illness, addictions, intimacy questions, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating divorce, caregiving strain, or questions around kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions are geared toward clear goals and small, concrete changes.

Michele focuses on building skills that make daily life easier, such as managing strong feelings, improving sleep habits, and handling relationship conflicts. She works collaboratively to find what fits each person's situation.

How Michele’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. It involves listening without judgment and helping people name what matters to them, which can ease anxiety and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical techniques to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense feelings and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what helps and adjusts techniques so progress is realistic and useful for each situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style work, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
