Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Growth

Michele draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and interpersonal connections. This approach helps when difficulties with trust, closeness, or recurring relationship struggles are at the center of the work.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on meeting people where they are and creating a nonjudgmental space that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. This method supports clients dealing with identity questions, life transitions, and the need to build self-compassion.

In addition, Michele incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and practical day-to-day challenges. CBT offers concrete strategies for making measurable changes in mood and functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust techniques over time to stay aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Michele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support across distances, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
