Michelle Simon , MN Psychologist LP3155

Michelle Simon is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota with 33 years of professional experience, holding the credential MN Psychologist LP3155 which indicates her licensure to practice psychology in the state. Over more than three decades she has worked with clients across the lifespan, offering support for relationship difficulties, family conflicts, parenting challenges - including divorce with children and new parenting struggles - and issues related to self-esteem and confidence.

Two years ago she expanded her practice to include Christian-based therapy in response to growing community interest, integrating faith-informed perspectives when appropriate. Michelle commonly uses a cognitive behavioral approach to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she blends that method with a client-centered stance that keeps each person s goals and values at the forefront. Her background also includes familiarity with the Family Court System and an interest in complementary alternative health and medicinal approaches.

Michelle emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and customizes conversation and treatment plans to meet each individual s specific needs. She frames beginning therapy as an act of courage and encourages prospective clients to view that first step as movement toward healthier patterns and clearer direction.

Approaches and Online Care for Relationship and Family Concerns

Michelle Simon draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person s experience and building a collaborative, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore values and goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive space to process relationship dynamics, parenting decisions, or life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve mood and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work to match what clients find most useful, adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care during transitions. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver effective, personalized treatment while accommodating each client s logistical needs.
