Background and approach
Sessions focus on measurable steps and everyday changes rather than abstract ideas. Her sessions mix listening with active problem solving. Michele draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for a person's experience.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding. People can expect conversations about what gets in the way of feeling better and small exercises to try between meetings. Michele also provides coaching-style support when someone needs motivation or a plan to move forward.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Michele works in English and practices in Montana. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and a scheduling step connect people with the right session rhythm.
How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
Michele uses Client-Centered Therapy to put a person’s experience first. That approach focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients feel understood before choosing steps to change. It suits people who need space to talk and clarity about their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and offers exercises people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She checks in on what helps and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options are meant to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep a steady therapy routine.
