About Michele
Michele Paladino helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and family-related concerns. She focuses on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and practical issues like communication and workplace strain. Michele is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing from New York.
Michele uses a strengths-based outlook and believes people are the experts on their own lives. She combines several evidence-based techniques to create a plan that fits each person.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical tools and short-term strategies that can be used between meetings. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Michele works together with clients to set goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as needed.
She emphasizes clear communication and small, achievable steps to make progress feel doable. With ten years of experience, she has worked in multiple clinical settings and has supported people through divorce, forgiveness work, and major life transitions. Michele also helps with trauma and abuse recovery by focusing on coping skills and present-day functioning rather than reliving the past.
People looking for help will find a mix of cognitive-style techniques, solution-focused planning, and mindfulness exercises. Michele aims to equip clients with tools they can use at home and at work so improvements carry over into daily life.
Approaches that translate to online care
Many of Michele's techniques focus on practical skills you can use between sessions. Cognitive-style methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and workplace challenges.Solution-focused work emphasizes setting clear, measurable goals and trying concrete steps to reach them. It can be a good fit when someone wants fast, focused progress on specific problems like communication or separation logistics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when someone wants to work through thoughts in writing. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life and keep momentum between meetings.
