Online therapy methods and options
Michele offers remote sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and support ongoing reflection and problem solving in a way that fits different schedules and communication preferences.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is applied to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking and to build strategies for managing symptoms and day-to-day stress. Attachment-Based Therapy supports exploration of relationship patterns and emotional bonds that shape how people connect and respond to one another.
Sessions are collaborative in style. Michele works with each person to choose which methods to use, to practice concrete skills, and to attend to emotional and relational themes as they arise during remote sessions.
