Therapeutic approaches for online care
Michele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple skills for grounding attention, reducing reactivity, and managing strong emotions when they arise.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Michele will listen to goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps most. She works with each person to set practical goals and picks tools that fit their needs and preferences rather than relying on one fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and schedules permit. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter background or lower bandwidth is needed. Chat and messaging are practical for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make scheduling easier and to fit care into a busy life.
