Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Many of Michele's methods focus on changing thoughts and building practical habits. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns and then try different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention skills that calm the mind and help with emotional regulation, useful for trauma, stress, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with clients to set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. She combines brief, goal-focused methods with mindful practices so treatment fits each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations when schedules allow, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins, quick coping reminders, and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
