Approach and online therapy options
Michele commonly uses client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so sessions reflect what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful patterns, which can ease anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their life. She checks progress and adjusts techniques so the work stays practical and relevant to the client's day-to-day needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter, flexible touchpoints that can support coping between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
