Background and approach
Sessions are goal-focused and grounded in conversation that helps people name feelings and try small, concrete changes. She blends listening with practical tools so people can practice new ways of coping between meetings. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape close connections and personal patterns.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are available when helping people manage stress, motivation, or addictive behaviors. Michele earned a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and holds a Florida LCSW.
She lives in Florida and brings values of empathy and respect to each session. Michele often helps people build a toolbox of coping strategies to move through hard moments and toward clearer goals. If someone wants a steady, compassionate presence while they work on change, Michele offers straightforward guidance and practical techniques to use between sessions.

Online support
How Michele’s Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name the emotions that drive their patterns. Online sessions let Michele guide exploration of feelings and relationship patterns in real time, helping a person try new emotional responses and see different outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, so Michele follows each person’s lead and creates space for what matters most in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which translates well to short exercises and homework between online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaboration means the plan can shift as needs change, and techniques can be blended to fit individual challenges and strengths.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for check-ins, and text messaging for brief support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, complete short skill practices between meetings, and keep momentum during life transitions.
