She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. Michele aims to meet clients where they are and build on their existing strengths.

She values a respectful, collaborative process that honors each person’s history and strengths.
Sessions are framed around what the person needs right now. Michele supports step-by-step change and helps people build practical skills they can use between visits. The aim is steady improvement that fits real life.
How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
Michele uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That means listening carefully, following the client’s priorities, and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps when people want a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful patterns. These techniques translate well to talk-based sessions and practical homework between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative, with goals and pace set by the person in therapy.
