How Michele uses evidence-based approaches in remote work
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used for grief and life transitions are problem-solving therapy and brief goal-focused coaching. Problem-solving therapy breaks a current difficulty into manageable steps, helps identify options, and tests a chosen solution. It can be useful for workplace issues, money problems, and practical challenges after loss.Brief goal-focused coaching helps clarify values, set achievable professional or personal goals, and create short plans to move ahead. It emphasizes small experiments and tracking what works, which fits people seeking clearer direction or motivation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michele will work with the client to pick methods that match specific goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is reviewed.
