Approach and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the issues you bring, helping you set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when attachment and relationship patterns are causing distress by naming emotions and changing how people respond to each other.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to continue care while traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, client-centered talks, and emotionally-focused interventions to work well in virtual sessions, and Michele draws from these approaches to help clients build everyday coping skills.
