About Michele

Michele Manyko-Baranowski is a Pennsylvania-licensed LPC with ten years of clinical experience who centers her practice on collaborative, client-led care.

Background and approach

She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work, using those strengths to address stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, and challenges with anger and impulsivity. Michele also supports people grappling with concentration, memory, and focus concerns, including those who list ADHD among their priorities.

Her approach blends empathy with evidence-informed strategies, helping clients translate insight into practical changes for better communication, self-regard, and workplace functioning. Michele frames therapy as a courageous step toward a more satisfying life and aims to empower clients as they develop tools for managing social anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and family problems.

She offers a grounded, supportive presence while guiding people through measurable coping skills and motivational strategies tailored to individual goals.

Personalized therapeutic approaches delivered online

Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process, focusing on empathy and collaboration so individuals can explore their experiences and identify their own solutions; this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem and strengthening motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured, practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, manage anger, and support better focus and workplace functioning. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping people clarify their goals and draw on personal motivation to make changes, especially when ambivalence or impulsivity is present.

Michele collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs and preferences, adapting strategies over time as goals evolve. The choice of method is presented as a joint decision, with the therapist offering guidance and skill-building while the client directs the focus of the work.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility for scheduling and lets clients use the format that best suits their daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when routines are busy or travel is difficult, and they allow licensed professionals to provide regular, focused support tailored to individual goals.
