How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
Michele uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to a person. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative plan that reflects the client’s priorities. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make choices.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, often called CBT, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping during life transitions. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find internal motivation for change and to resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then adapt techniques as needed. That collaborative planning continues as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
