How Michele Uses Practical Therapies Online

Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One approach helps people learn practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity scheduling, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm. This approach fits people who need tools they can use between sessions.

Another approach centers on stabilizing mood and daily routines for those managing depression or bipolar symptoms. It emphasizes regular sleep, activity planning, and manageable goals to create steadier days and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to test what works, adjust techniques, and set short-term objectives. She listens to preferences and life demands when deciding if a skill-based plan or mood-stabilizing routine is best.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or screens feel tiring. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or managing small steps between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy days and varied schedules.
