About Michele

Michele also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She has experience with concerns related to military service and mood disorders including post-traumatic stress. Men's wellbeing is listed among her focus areas and she includes that in her work when it fits a client's goals.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Michele helps clients set small, clear goals and practices skills between sessions. She includes faith or secular perspectives based on what matters to the individual.
With five years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, Michele brings steady care to challenging problems. Start-up steps are kept simple so people can try therapy without added stress.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many of Michele's tools come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One approach involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going, and then practicing small changes to those patterns. This helps with social anxiety, workplace stress, and low mood. Another common method emphasizes processing past hurts and building better emotional safety in relationships, which can help with trauma, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences, trying practical steps and adjusting as needed. The aim is to find what fits the person, not to force a single method.
