04Online support
How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and building practical coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that supports processing difficult memories and reducing distress linked to those memories. It can be used when trauma or abuse symptoms are a primary concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging can make short check-ins or skill practice easier between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into busy schedules, across different locations, and around daily responsibilities.
