About Michele
She invites clients to explore feelings without judgment so the whole person can engage in the therapeutic process. Michele’s work also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, panic and social anxiety, women’s issues, workplace and young adult transitions, and a range of mood and behavioral difficulties. Beginning therapy is often an act of courage and she acknowledges that step while supporting clients to build insight, practical skills, and greater self-compassion as they move forward.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Michele practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One common focus is attachment-informed work, which explores patterns of connection and abandonment to help improve relationships and reduce relational anxiety. Another emphasis is skills-based strategies for mood and anxiety management, which teach practical tools for managing panic, regulating mood, and building confidence and self-esteem. These approaches aim to translate insight into day-to-day coping and improved functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michele collaborates with clients to determine what fits best. She works together with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and realistic for their life and values.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may occur by video call, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules, locations, and life transitions, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support and skills practice in a format that fits the client’s routine.
