Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One approach helps people learn specific skills to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions, which can be useful for anger and anxiety. Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more helpful responses to improve mood and daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life. She adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs shift. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can help someone maintain continuity of care during life changes.
