How Michele Uses Evidence-Informed Approaches Online
Michele draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name their goals; it helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it is practical for tackling anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when teaching emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT-based techniques can help people manage intense emotions and improve communication in stressful situations. Michele adapts these methods to each person rather than following a single script.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Michele will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust as progress is made.
