Background and approach
In sessions she blends several methods to match what a person needs. Michele uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts. She mixes in solution-focused work to set small, achievable goals and mindfulness practices to calm intense feelings.
She favors a client-centered stance. That means she asks questions, listens closely, and helps people choose the tools that fit their life. Conversations are practical and collaborative, with steps to try between visits.
Common topics include communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, self-love, and workplace issues. Michele aims to teach coping strategies for daily stress while also addressing deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. Her goal is to help people build skills they can use long after sessions end.
Michele works with each person to create a plan that fits their schedule, values, and goals.
Online approaches and how they work
Many of Michele's methods draw from evidence-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and workplace worries.Solution-focused methods emphasize small, practical steps and clear goals. These techniques help people move forward quickly by identifying what will look different when a problem eases. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and invites feedback about what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on skill-building and practical change.
