Background and approach
She also assists those coping with attachment concerns, abandonment, and struggles with self-worth. Her work includes support during major life transitions such as divorce, pregnancy, caregiving stress, and workplace or financial strain. Michelle pays attention to practical problems like impulsivity, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional fallout of separation and loss.
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next. Her approach blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She uses clear, skills-based techniques as well as ways to look at internal parts and relationship patterns.
She offers counseling from a non-denominational Christian perspective when requested. Michelle is based in Michigan and brings 34 years of experience as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker. She aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can talk honestly, learn tools, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, mood problems, and problematic coping. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and speak with the different parts of themselves that hold fear, shame, or protective behavior, which can be useful for trauma, attachment, and self-worth concerns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Michelle will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy can stay practical and relevant to whatever is happening in a person’s life.

They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes while still focusing on skill-building, communication work, and processing difficult experiences.
