Background and approach

In sessions she mixes tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work. She also uses mindfulness and client-centered ideas to slow things down and notice what matters most. The aim is to give skills people can use between sessions to manage stress and tough moments.

Michele pays attention to relationships and communication, including divorce and separation concerns, forgiveness, and workplace stress. She likes to break problems into smaller parts and test practical strategies. Parents and family members find this concrete orientation easier to try at home.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Michele encourages clients to set the pace and choose what feels most useful. She supports steps toward greater self-love, better communication, and steadier coping through life’s transitions.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and life work

Michele commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This method is useful for anxiety, stress, and changing daily routines. She also uses solution-focused strategies that identify small, achievable steps toward a specific goal. Those techniques are practical for relationship and workplace problems and for navigating separation or forgiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michele works together with each person to find which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means starting with a simple plan, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep continuity during life transitions. Many people find the flexibility helps them practice new skills between sessions and stay consistent with care.
