Background and approach

She uses narrative ideas to help people separate themselves from problems and see new possibilities. Michele also draws on client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person’s needs and values. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Mindfulness practices and emotion-focused ideas are added when they fit the situation, especially for stress, anger, and grief. Michele helps people assemble a toolbox of coping strategies they can use between sessions. Michele has worked with adults facing adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges related to autism and intellectual disability.

She also supports people struggling with addiction, codependency, body image, and life transitions such as divorce or career change. Based in Florida, Michele holds the credential LCSW, which means Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She provides sessions in English and meets with international clients when that arrangement fits.

Michele aims to make therapy practical, compassionate, and focused on small steps toward a more manageable life.

How Michele's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values and helps people feel heard while they figure out next steps. It suits concerns like low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and family-related decisions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by reworking the story they tell about their life, which can be useful for abandonment, attachment, or identity issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior, and it offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what matters most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a deeper face-to-face feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a busy schedule, and messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life while still using narrative, client-centered, and CBT tools to move toward clear goals.
