About Michele

Michele Caban is a seasoned California therapist with 35 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a credential that reflects specialized training in working with individuals, couples, and families to address emotional and relational concerns.

Michele approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify strengths and resources to move through difficult times. Her practice includes focused work on attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, infidelity and non-monogamous relationship concerns, and the emotional impacts of illness such as HIV/AIDS. She also supports clients facing loneliness, life purpose questions, guilt and shame, and the transitions that come with divorce and separation.

Beginning therapy often requires courage, and Michele honors that first step by offering thoughtful, collaborative care designed to meet each client where they are. She combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients build understanding, resilience, and clearer pathways forward from the challenges they bring to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michele often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. ACT helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life-direction concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds to improve connection and address issues like attachment difficulties, relationship conflict, and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele collaborates with each person to identify methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess which strategies fit best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for this collaborative work. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when distance or schedules are a barrier, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for check-ins and ongoing support. These modalities make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
