About Michele

Her background before counseling included more than 15 years in the travel industry, with time spent living and traveling in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Europe. That experience shaped a broader cultural awareness she brings to conversations about life changes, career shifts, and caregiving pressures.

She regularly supports people coping with chronic health conditions, blended family stresses, addiction concerns, and caregiver burnout. Sessions often focus on concrete tools and small, manageable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Michele frequently uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.She also relies on elements of dialectical behavior therapy, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These strategies teach concrete ways to manage strong emotions, improve interactions, and reduce impulsive reactions, which can be useful for parenting stress, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Michele will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and behavior practice in the setting where they live.
