About Michele
Michele Albano is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and ADHD-related concerns. She has been practicing in New York since 1998 and draws on long experience to offer steady support. Michele aims to create a calm space where clients can talk at their own pace and set realistic goals.
She uses practical tools that make daily life easier, such as strategies to manage worry, improve sleep, and strengthen self-esteem.
Background and approach
Michele also works with people coping with trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and major life transitions. Her approach is warm and straightforward, focused on what will help you feel better day to day. Over 25 years she has worked with a wide age range and varied life situations.
That history lets her match interventions to each person's needs rather than relying on one fixed method. Michele listens for what matters most and helps shape an individualized plan that fits your routine and goals. Sessions can include short skill-building exercises, talk therapy, and guided attention practices.
She brings compassion and patience while encouraging small, practical steps that add up over time. Michele emphasizes collaboration so clients leave sessions with clear next steps. People who are worn out by caregiving, facing career or parenting stress, or navigating loss often find the steady, practical support they need.
Michele offers a nonjudgmental space to sort through priorities and build coping tools that fit real life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, involves guided attention while recalling difficult memories to help reduce their emotional intensity and support trauma recovery. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, past experiences, and daily routine to decide which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter interaction fits your day. These options make scheduling simpler and help therapy fit into busy lives.
