How Michele Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Many therapists combine well-researched techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and life-direction questions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This method helps with social anxiety, workplace stress, and mood problems by teaching practical strategies to try between sessions.Trauma-informed work concentrates on safety, pacing, and reducing reactivity. It helps people who have experienced abuse or post-traumatic stress by teaching ways to manage triggers, build emotional regulation, and process painful memories at a manageable pace.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Michele will work collaboratively to identify which techniques fit a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what is working and adjusts plans as progress is made so the approach stays relevant to changing concerns.
