How Michele's Approaches Work Online
Systemic Therapy looks at patterns among the people who matter in a person’s life. Online sessions let Michele map those patterns through discussion and by identifying recurring interaction cycles that affect mood and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own perspective and goals. In remote sessions Michele listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help clients clarify priorities and decide next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let Michele and a client use visual cues for conversations about communication and emotion. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messages are useful for short updates, between-session coaching, and tracking progress over time. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit therapy into a busy life.
