Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Systemic work looks at relationships and patterns across a person’s life. Online sessions let Michele map interactions and recurring dynamics while clients describe recent events or bring in examples from home. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities; this means sessions adapt to each person's pace and goals, whether by phone, video, chat, or messaging.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions Michele can teach simple CBT strategies, assign brief exercises between meetings, and review progress together. Mindfulness methods offer short practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful, try methods in session, and adjust based on how well they match the client's needs and goals. That collaborative trial helps find a good fit without pressure.

Online formats provide flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily responsibilities.
