How Michele’s Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Care

Michele uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work; this approach focuses on empathy, understanding, and helping people build on their strengths to address life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies for coping and problem solving. For clients dealing with trauma, Michele integrates EMDR techniques aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and supporting healing through structured processing.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele collaborates with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to stay aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Michele is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and communication. These options make it easier for individuals to access care from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of work during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy schedules while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the process to each client.
