About Michele
Michele Howard is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family strain. She makes a point of listening first and letting people set the pace for hard conversations. Michele uses clear, down-to-earth language so parents and caregivers can follow along easily.
She works with people who struggle with intimacy, attachment wounds, and fears around abandonment. She also supports those coping with panic attacks, trouble communicating, and the emotional shifts that can come with pregnancy and childbirth.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to each person and finding steps that fit daily life. Michele draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused conversations. That mix helps identify unhelpful thinking, strengthen important relationships, and build practical skills for tense moments.
She encourages gentle experiments between sessions to test what changes help. The tone in Michele's room is direct but warm. She aims to make sessions useful from the first few meetings by setting small, achievable goals.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s working and adjust as needed. Based in North Carolina, Michele brings three years of professional experience as an LMFT. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values even when emotions feel difficult. It’s useful for worry, stress, and making choices during life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early emotional bonds shape current trust and connection. It can help with intimacy concerns and repairing communication around closeness.Michele will collaborate with each person to find the best fit among these approaches. She starts by asking about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines, work breaks, or unpredictable days.
