Welcome to BetterHelp and taking an important step in meeting your needs. I would be happy to help you do this at your own pace and tailor your time to your specific needs.
My name is Michele C. Albano and I have been a social worker in New York since 1998. I have worked in varied capacities and with ages from 4 to 94.
Life can be difficult and when it is, being able to focus and concentrate on your responsibilities can be challenging. I would like to be able to assist you in meeting those challenges. It is a support that everyone should treat themselves too. I have had the opportunity to provide empathy to clients that have struggled with a wide range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem issues and many others. We can discuss what has brought you to this site and individualize a plan that works best for you. Providing a warm, compassionate, and empathetic environment to individuals is important and my goal for every client.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please contact me at your convenience and we can discuss further how to meet your specific needs.

I have been seeing Michele as my therapist for almost 3 years now and she has been instrumental in helping me work through a ton of garbage. The change within is noticeable to me and those around me.

Michelle is a great listener. She comes to each session prepared with follow up questions based on our previous conversations and she encourages to me to be the best version of myself, with whatever goals I am working towards. She is also happy to just let me vent. She will listen to everything I say and offer supportive feedback. She understands the male perspective and gives good advice. I highly recommend working with her if she is available.

Michele is supportive and helps you come to your own conclusions without judgement. She is positive and I feel I’m making amazing progress with her help.

My counselor is very helpful. This is my first time using better help and im glad I found a suitable therapist on my first try. She really listens to what I'm saying and gives me multiple ways on helping me cope with situations :)

Michele is kind and understanding. She takes the information you give and synthesizes it to help you get to the root of what you are feeling. She helps you feel like the issue your tackling is in partnership and less alone. I was weary about this form of counseling at first but Michele certainly helped me become more comfortable with it- for that I am grateful.
