About Michele
Michele Roeder is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with 28 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes. Michele also focuses on issues such as caregiver stress, ADHD, and blended family issues.
Michele’s style is direct and practical. She listens and helps people sort what matters most. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She uses familiar therapies to help people notice patterns and change them.
Her background includes long experience in community and clinical settings. Michele has provided counseling by telehealth for several years. Her work with adults has covered first responder stress, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work when past events are still causing strong reactions.
Michele also uses Systemic Therapy ideas to look at relationships and roles that affect day-to-day life. That can be useful for someone navigating a stepfamily, co-parenting after separation, or changing household routines. She encourages clear goals and practical experiments to test what helps.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Michele checks messages during weekday hours and typically responds promptly.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and pace. Online sessions using this approach involve listening closely and helping clients set their own goals. This is helpful for issues like anxiety, stress, and relationship decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. In online sessions CBT often includes practical exercises and brief homework that can be done between meetings to test new ways of responding.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past events. When used online it can involve structured talk and skills for managing strong reactions, paced to the client’s readiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide whether Client-Centered, CBT, Trauma-Focused, or systemic ideas best fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so plans can shift if something isn’t helping.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue care while managing changes in household routines.
