About Michele
Michele Krynski is a licensed psychologist practicing in Connecticut with 35 years of experience. She brings long-term clinical work to parents and adults coping with hard emotions and life shifts. Michele focuses on practical help for depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, bipolar challenges, and relationship difficulties.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She creates time and space for people to talk through painful feelings and confusing thoughts. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Michele uses a mix of client-centered listening, psychodynamic ideas about patterns, and solution-focused tools to set reachable goals. That means she listens deeply, looks for recurring life themes, and also helps build small, doable steps forward. She often addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Panic, post-traumatic stress, and coping with major life changes are also part of her work. In sessions she aims to help people notice what’s getting in the way and practice clearer ways of responding. The process includes reflection, gentle challenge, and concrete strategies chosen to fit each person’s situation.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michele draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s story. This approach means listening closely, reflecting what’s said, and helping people feel understood so they can identify their own next steps.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns and early influences that affect current feelings and relationships. That work helps people see why they react a certain way and opens up new choices for handling stress and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of listening, pattern work, and solution-focused tasks fits their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy adds practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions offer audio-only options, and live chat or text-based messaging let people check in or process thoughts between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between sessions while working toward clearer coping and communication.
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.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
