Her practice emphasizes helping individuals explore purpose and meaning while using the therapeutic relationship as a tool for change. She aims to create a supportive, collaborative environment in which people feel empowered to make decisions and pursue goals at their own pace.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman’s University, and she earned a certification in Gerontology from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her background includes both individual and group therapy across a range of clinical settings, with notable work supporting people affected by alcohol and drug dependency through group facilitation and prevention services.
Her areas of focus include addictions, depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family concerns, geriatric issues, and life transitions. Michelle integrates a range of clinical approaches to match each person’s needs and emphasizes collaboration as clients work toward clearer direction and coping strategies.
Remote sessions tailored to collaborative, skills-based work
Michelle offers remote sessions that use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to connect with clients from Texas. These options are available for individual work and for formats informed by her group therapy experience. The goal of remote work is to maintain a collaborative therapeutic relationship while using practical methods that fit each person’s priorities.
She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive, client-led environment, allowing people to identify what matters most and make their own choices about treatment focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides concrete tools to examine unhelpful thinking and to develop actionable coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy supports awareness of present-moment experience and cultivating steadier attention to feelings and bodily signals.
This blend of approaches can suit people seeking both practical skills and deeper exploration of meaning. Sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging are used to meet preferences for communication and to support ongoing, collaborative work toward stated goals.
