BHow sessions work
How her approaches adapt to online work
Michele uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood, then practices new skills to change them. CBT works well for stress, panic, depression, and many day-to-day problems.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a tool when traumatic memories interfere with current functioning. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma symptoms for some people.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can help with sleep, worry, and emotion regulation by teaching short exercises to use during the day.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Michele will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit the client’s needs. Adjustments are normal as work progresses.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss practical scheduling and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
