Michelle Voegtle , LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and Connecticut and a certified yoga instructor with over 25 years of experience in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional trained to provide counseling and support - she combines clinical knowledge with coaching skills to guide people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and career concerns, relationship and family challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.

She approaches work with kindness, compassion, and creative, outside-the-box strategies designed to help clients become unstuck. Michelle partners with individuals to identify barriers, apply pragmatic tools, and move toward a life that feels authentic and purposeful. Her sessions emphasize forward movement and practical steps rather than remaining fixed on past hurts.

Clients have often commented, "you get it!" which reflects her ability to listen deeply and validate experience while supporting measurable progress. As a coach and counselor who walks the walk, she centers hope, agency, and realistic planning to help people cultivate the life that is calling them forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance, and making meaningful life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathetic listening and support so clients can explore and discover their own solutions at their own pace - it helps restore self-trust and strengthen decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life challenges.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. The process emphasizes partnership and practical steps toward change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from wherever they are. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiver responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
