Approaches that translate well to online care
Michele commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage anxiety and stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practice. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work practical and collaborative. Those approaches emphasize listening, building on a person’s strengths, and setting short-term goals that fit real life. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and she will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on needs and goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
