About Michele

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience, Michele Manyko-Baranowski helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide practical steps forward. Michele frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on building on existing strengths.

Michele listens for what is working and what gets in the way. She offers straightforward conversations about coping, decision-making, and communication. Sessions focus on specific skills for managing emotions, improving concentration and impulse control, and addressing workplace or social anxiety challenges.

Her background includes a decade of work across settings where attention, memory, and focus issues intersect with stress and relationship strain. Michele draws on CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice alternative responses. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels mixed.

In practical terms she helps people break problems into manageable steps. That can mean short behavioral experiments, communication practice, or skill-building for anger management and self-esteem. Michele encourages clients to notice small gains and adjust strategies when needed.

People who want clear, goal-oriented conversations about everyday problems may find this approach useful. The work emphasizes collaboration, steady skill development, and realistic planning to fit changes into daily life.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and uses that input to shape goals and session focus. This helps when someone needs to sort priorities or make decisions about relationships or self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses short experiments and skill practice to change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT is often used for stress management, social anxiety, and attention-related concerns.

Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change. It helps people clarify their own reasons for doing things differently and build small, sustainable steps toward goals.

Finding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt methods as those factors become clearer. Clients and the therapist set priorities and try approaches for a few sessions to see what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer working without video or who need options that match their schedule.
