Approach and options for online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working from the client's goals so conversations feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with strong emotions and relationship struggles.

Michele will collaborate with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She reviews goals, tries methods that match those goals, and adjusts based on what helps most. This is a team effort where the client’s preferences guide which tools are emphasized.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and teaching new skills, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while focusing on practical skill building and progress tracking.
