About Michele
Michele Albano is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, or problems with sleep and eating.

She also supports those dealing with complex issues like bipolar disorder, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. In her approach Michele focuses on concrete strategies, skills practice, and steady emotional support. She collaborates with clients to create realistic plans for change and checks in on progress as therapy continues.

Online support
How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
EMDR is used to help reduce the distress tied to upsetting memories by guiding attention while clients recall difficult events; it can be helpful for people who notice intrusive memories or strong reactions linked to past experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so everyday problems feel more manageable. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele discusses your goals and preferences and adapts techniques to what feels most useful. Together you’ll try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant to your needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone calls can fit a quick check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflections, or adjustments between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
