Background and approach
Those years shaped a calm, direct approach when things feel urgent. Michele helps people managing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those coping with addictions, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
ADHD is listed among her focus areas and she draws on everyday strategies to help with attention and organization challenges. Therapy with Michele is grounded in clear goals and practical techniques. She uses client-centered conversations to learn what matters, then integrates cognitive behavioral tools to change patterns that cause distress.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help people find small, doable steps forward. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Michele aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
People who want specific coping skills and calm, steady guidance may find her approach a good match.
Practical approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It creates space for clients to describe what matters most and guides sessions around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that maintain problems and teaches concrete skills to change them. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with people to identify goals, tries methods that fit their preferences, and adjusts plans based on what is helpful. The aim is to find strategies that feel doable and meaningful for the individual.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
