Background and approach

Her style is warm and direct. She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. In sessions Michele focuses on clear goals and useful skills.

She adapts plans to each person's situation and pace. She emphasizes motivation and practical steps so progress feels doable rather than overwhelming. Michele describes herself as open and honest, and she brings a positive, grateful attitude into the work.

She encourages people who are ready to make changes and offers a supportive partnership through that process. Michele sees starting therapy as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life. Background and approach: Michele integrates evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.

She will listen to what matters most to the client and tailor conversations and exercises accordingly. Over 19 years she has refined an approach that balances practical skill-building with attention to emotions and values. Her sessions are meant to help people find clearer priorities, improve communication, and build coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Michele aims to help clients notice small changes that add up over time and to support them through setbacks while tracking real progress.

Online approaches that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Michele treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She listens to your goals and preferences, then blends methods that seem most likely to help. Together you will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online sessions come by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to use skills between sessions and keep momentum when life is busy. The variety of formats supports ongoing work in ways that match your routine and needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
