About
Michelle Filippi-Robb, LPCC, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience in the mental health field. Based in Missouri, she co-owns a small private practice with her husband, who is also a therapist. She brings a grounded, approachable presence to her work and aims to offer therapy that feels authentic, supportive, and genuinely human.
Her primary focus areas include grief in many forms, depression, and coping with life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, and other major changes. She recognizes that grief is not limited to death and can also arise from changes in identity, relationships, work, health, or life stages. Alongside these specialties, she also supports clients navigating concerns like abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, separation, midlife transitions, women’s issues, and workplace challenges, and she offers coaching support as well.
Michelle’s clinical foundation is Client-Centered Therapy, meaning she prioritizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own pace. She works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and she partners with clients to build trust, validation, and a space where they can show up as themselves. She also welcomes and supports clients who want to include spirituality as part of their healing process, whether they are exploring it for the first time or already feel connected to it. She describes her style as laid back while staying professional, and she does not typically assign homework, although she may occasionally suggest an activity or reading if it seems useful.
Michelle was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair full-time, a lived perspective that informs her empathy and reinforces her belief that no two experiences are exactly alike. She also notes that she is not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma or PTSD-related symptoms, and she may not be the best match for someone seeking highly structured therapy with frequent homework. She emphasizes that fit matters in therapy, and clients are encouraged to prioritize comfort and the right support.

Client-Centered, Solution-Focused Support in an Online Format
Michelle Filippi-Robb, LPCC, LPC, uses a Client-Centered approach that emphasizes empathy, respect, and moving at the client’s pace. In practice, this means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with space to explore grief, depression, and major life changes without feeling judged or pushed into a preset plan.She also draws from Solution-Focused Therapy, which helps clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and take practical next steps. This approach can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck in a transition, wants to build coping skills, or is looking for forward movement while still honoring the emotions that come with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not worked before, and what kind of support feels most helpful. Together, they can adjust the focus over time so sessions stay aligned with the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support in a way that fits real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, or times when it is simply easier to communicate from home.
