She emphasizes that each person knows their story best and has resources to build on. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with attention to what feels realistic in a client’s day-to-day life. Michelle offers encouragement while helping clients name manageable goals and small steps forward.

Her work also addresses issues that often underlie emotional pain, such as abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, and feelings of guilt or shame. She helps people rebuild self-love and work toward clearer life purpose when those areas feel confusing.

Michelle has supported people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth transitions, workplace stress, isolation and loneliness, and post-traumatic stress reactions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create focused sessions that match each person’s needs.

Licensed in Maine as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC, and in South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC, she works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common method addresses anxiety and stress by teaching short, actionable coping skills and pacing exposure to feared situations so progress feels manageable. Another approach centers on grief and loss work, using structured conversations to help people make meaning of what happened and find ways to carry forward important relationships and values.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that suit those goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback about what feels helpful so sessions stay aligned with real needs and day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family demands and the ability to meet without travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins by phone or audio easier on busy days, while others prefer longer conversations that fit into a single block of time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to find the setup that best fits your routine.
