Michele emphasises sensitivity and genuine compassion in every interaction and adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s needs and goals. Her caseload includes people dealing with worry, grief, feeling lost, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, addiction, relationship challenges, anger management and long-term or unexplained health conditions.

She aims to provide an affirming, tailored clinical approach that helps people explore their experiences and move toward practical change and personal growth.

How Michele's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early bonds shape current interaction styles and offering ways to build more secure, connected relationships.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance that helps people feel heard while they explore change at their own pace. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Michele works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, preferences and goals, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support across different locations and schedules. These options offer flexibility for busy lives, allow continuity when travel or health issues interfere with in-person work, and help people find a format that feels most comfortable for engaging in therapy.
