Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Benefits

Michele draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can move toward values-based actions; it can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental support, giving clients space to explore their goals while the therapist follows their lead. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and coping skills development.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and tools rather than applying a single model to everyone.

Online therapy with Michele can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to continue care through life changes and busy periods.
