Online support

How Michele blends approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's pace. It helps people feel heard and supports exploration of values, goals, and identity in a gentle, nonjudgmental way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier routines, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

EMDR is used as one of several approaches when past distressing events need attention. It involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and support recovery from trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and live chat or messaging lets people check in between appointments or choose shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.
