Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Michele Lescard
Michele Lescard integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her remote practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing clients to explore concerns at their own pace while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating family or relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress - it is effective for developing coping strategies and changing behaviors that interfere with daily functioning.
Michele approaches treatment as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they identify priorities, set achievable objectives, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Michele can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote care makes it possible to access licensed professional support from home, during transitions, or when in-person visits are impractical, while still focusing on meaningful progress and practical skill building.
