Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michele draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered and Attachment-Based approaches to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action - it is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions by building psychological flexibility. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own experience guides the pace of change - it helps with self-esteem, confidence and emotional exploration. Attachment-Based therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they influence current connections, which can be helpful for relationship, intimacy and abandonment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the blend of techniques over time to suit progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier for clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective, compassionate care.
