How Michele's Approaches Work Online

Michele uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's perspective. This approach means sessions start with listening and prioritizing what the client says matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active and teaches practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the early work. Michele collaborates with clients to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She adjusts techniques if something isn't helpful and looks for clear signs of progress together with the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find virtual work makes scheduling easier and helps fit therapy into busy lives. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to meet during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can still use CBT and mindfulness effectively in an online setting, and Michele aims to translate practical tools into your everyday routine.
