About Michelle

Michelle Smith is a licensed counselor with LCMHC and LMHC credentials and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She approaches therapy with a belief that people have the capacity to build lives that feel meaningful, and she partners with individuals and families to turn their goals into practical steps.

Her practice centers on a client-centered, non-judgmental stance that meets people where they are. Michelle uses an eclectic mix of evidence-informed approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior techniques - to tailor care to each person’s needs. This flexibility allows her to address a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

She has worked with clients from varied age groups and cultural backgrounds and supports families as well as individuals. Michelle aims to bring a fresh perspective and practical tools to help clients navigate life’s transitions and cope with difficult emotions. Her training and clinical experience inform a compassionate, goal-focused approach that emphasizes skill-building and personal resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters, while teaching skills to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients improve trust, intimacy, and communication. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve coping in the face of crises.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, goal-focused work through these formats while tailoring the pace and tools to each client’s situation.
