Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Michele uses client-centered therapy to guide conversations that start with what matters to the client. This approach focuses on listening, respect, and building on each person’s strengths to make steady progress.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, improving focus, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by clarifying values and building internal motivation.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Michele will discuss different methods and tailor sessions based on goals, preferences, and what seems to help most. Over time the plan can shift as needs change and small wins add up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging provide short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, family tasks, and day-to-day demands.
