How Michele’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Michele commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce stress and mood symptoms.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help people manage intense feelings and improve interactions. These skills are taught in simple steps and practiced in everyday situations to build confidence and stability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying out skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
