Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michele often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an approach that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and building coping strategies for crises.
Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting better emotion management and stress reduction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele works collaboratively with each person and licensed professionals help tailor methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences to determine the best fit.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, and make it easier to integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed therapists who adapt techniques to the online setting.
