    About Michele

    Michele Manyko-Baranowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress and manage anxiety. Michele emphasizes the client’s own knowledge and strengths when planning change.

    She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people handle relationship strain and anger. Michele also supports concerns about concentration, memory, and focus that affect daily life and work. Her approach treats those issues as solvable problems rather than fixed limits.

    Michele draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s goals and perspective in each session. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox to help people find their own reasons for change.

    Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. Michele encourages clients to use their existing strengths and to set realistic goals. She aims to make the process collaborative and straightforward.

    People often come for help with workplace stress, social anxiety, impulsivity, and self-esteem. Michele also focuses on communication problems, family-related concerns, and building self-love. She supports clients as they experiment with new ways of coping and relating to others.

  2. How Michele's approaches work in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own motivations for change. It uses guided conversation to help people weigh pros and cons and decide what steps they want to try. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person as the expert on their life. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and supports the client in setting their own goals. This can be helpful for people who need space to explore feelings and decide what matters most to them.

    Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Michele will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce commute time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. The original biography does not list specific formats, so confirm which session options are offered before booking. Overall, online sessions can make it easier to try short check-ins, work-focused appointments, or ongoing weekly meetings depending on what the therapist and client agree will be most useful.
