About Michele
Dr. Michele Frey helps people facing addictions, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those managing family tensions and the stress that comes with shifting roles.
Her work includes issues linked to aging and geriatric concerns, multicultural challenges, personality concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. She brings 23 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Michele keeps conversations straightforward and focused.
Sessions are shaped to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps people set clear, doable steps. She works with clients to build coping strategies and routines that can reduce symptoms of depression and make daily life more manageable. For addictions and grief she combines steady support with goal-oriented problem solving.
Michele emphasizes respect and cultural sensitivity. She pays attention to how background, identity, and systems of bias affect a person's life and choices. This helps make plans that feel realistic and relevant.
People who want to begin are guided through a simple process to match goals to a session format. Michele uses phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to continue care between sessions and keep progress moving forward.
How Michele Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts to reduce depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to manage cravings, reduce relapse risk, and steady emotions after loss or major life shifts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what feels doable for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to ask quick questions or share progress. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
