Michelle Evans

Michelle Evans is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience, supporting clients in English from Vermont. Her work frequently focuses on concerns such as eating disorders, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, along with helping families and parents navigate behavioral challenges with adolescents and teenagers. She also supports clients facing stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of family and identity-related issues, including LGBT concerns.

In sessions, Michelle draws from evidence-informed approaches that emphasize both practical skill-building and emotional understanding. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward values-based choices. She also integrates family-focused and emotion-centered methods when appropriate, including Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Family Based Therapy (FBT), to help caregivers and loved ones better understand patterns, communicate more effectively, and support change together.

Michelle aims to create an environment that feels warm and welcoming, with attention to what helps each person feel comfortable engaging in the work. For clients balancing parenting responsibilities, she welcomes the realities of home life during sessions, including having young children present when needed.
