She uses practical, goal-oriented approaches in sessions.

In sessions, Michele helps people identify strengths they can use to change patterns that no longer serve them. She works with clients on specific skills for managing anger and reducing stress. Conversations include straightforward skill practice, problem solving, and tracking progress between meetings.
Her work emphasizes small, concrete steps rather than abstract promises. People meet to set clear goals, try new strategies, and review what helps. Michele encourages open discussion about what is or isn’t working so plans can be adjusted.

How Michele's approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT typically focus on concrete strategies like thought records, behavior experiments, and step-by-step plans to manage anger and anxiety. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; remote DBT work usually includes practicing grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques during sessions and between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s been tried, set short-term goals, and adjust the plan if a technique isn’t helping.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to a screen because they rely on talking and skill practice, while others may require different pacing or homework. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and adapt sessions so they fit everyday life.
