About Michelle
Her practice emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Michelle helps clients identify and examine patterns of unhelpful thoughts and feelings and explore how these patterns influence behaviors. She combines CBT with other approaches as needed, tailoring methods to fit each person’s unique circumstances and goals rather than relying on a single technique.
Michelle guides clients through self-exploration and skill building, offering tools for coping, communication, and recognizing destructive patterns. She supports clients who want to consider new perspectives, strengthen confidence, and work toward practical changes that improve everyday functioning and personal fulfillment. Michelle welcomes the opportunity to assist people in developing strategies and insights that support their growth and healing.
Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. In practice, this approach helps clients explore ways attachment needs and fears influence intimacy, trust, and connection with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience by offering empathic listening and unconditional regard so individuals can lead the pace and focus of their healing; it is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping skills, often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management.
Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle Merindino works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they refine strategies and adapt techniques over time to find what supports meaningful progress.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible ways to engage in therapy without requiring travel, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options allow clients to work with licensed professionals in formats that suit their comfort level and lifestyle, while maintaining the therapeutic focus on practical tools and personal growth.
