Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own values and solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it is often useful for addictions, career shifts, and making difficult decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to match what is most effective for the individual.

Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different settings, while allowing therapists to apply familiar approaches like CBT and client-centered work in ways that suit each client’s life.
