She focuses on helping clients notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and try small changes that add up. Sessions tend to center on real-life problems and doable strategies rather than just talking about feelings.
Background and approach
She commonly addresses relationship strain and communication problems. Michele uses Gottman-informed ideas to guide couples toward better conversations and less blame while they work on rebuilding connection and reducing recurring conflict.

She is continuing advanced study in Cognitive Processing Therapy, which she applies when appropriate to help people process and make sense of traumatic events. Clients can expect a focus on everyday skills like managing overwhelming thoughts, reducing workplace burnout, and addressing codependency or caregiver stress.

She practices in Texas and brings three years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. Sessions are conducted in English and organized around the client’s goals and practical needs.
How evidence-informed techniques shape online care
Michele uses evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice small changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and practical steps, helping clients identify what already works and build on those strengths.She also applies Gottman-informed strategies when relationship communication is a focus, working on practical conversation skills and reducing recurring conflict without assigning blame. Michele will discuss which approaches fit a client’s situation and tailor sessions to their needs rather than prescribing a single method up front.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust along the way. Clients can expect guidance, homework-like practice between sessions, and ongoing check-ins to see what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the exact session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work from a quieter spot that suits them. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to work well over distance while focusing on practical change and daily coping skills.
