Therapeutic approaches and online care with Michele Holden



Michele draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where clients lead the conversation and explore their values, goals, and feelings. This approach helps people who need acceptance, understanding, and support while they clarify what matters most to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching concrete strategies clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michele works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adapt techniques as treatment unfolds.

Online therapy with Michele offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These options allow clients to engage in consistent work toward their goals from locations that are convenient for them, while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
