About Michele
Michele Manyko-Baranowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and attention concerns. She approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Michele frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower clients as they make changes.
She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and reflect what matters to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of the approach when people want to increase their willingness to change and set achievable goals.
Michele often helps people who struggle with focus, memory, or impulsivity alongside anxiety or self-esteem concerns. She also supports those dealing with communication or family problems, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace issues. Sessions typically involve practical steps and small experiments to test what works in daily life.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to build on strengths they already have. Michele invites people to take manageable steps toward greater wellbeing and self-acceptance.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to the therapist's calendar.
How Michele’s approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and can discover their own solutions; it helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses simple exercises to try new responses to stress, anxiety, or workplace pressure. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and set small, realistic goals when motivation feels mixed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding behavioral steps or motivational strategies as things progress.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm available session options before booking. Michele’s focus on practical exercises and goal setting can fit into many schedules, helping clients use therapy tools between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, do short check-ins, or follow up on homework without extra travel.
