Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Michele draws on evidence-based approaches to guide her online work, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and experiences lead the work - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Michele approaches treatment collaboratively, working with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She views finding the right method as a shared process and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Michele is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, support consistent attendance, and allow therapy to fit into varied life demands.
