About Michelle

Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, eating and body-image concerns, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and life changes. Michelle writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.

She uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she blends structured skill work with a warm, accepting style so clients can try new ways of handling feelings and behaviors. Sessions often include concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and addressing eating or body-image struggles.

Michelle has a long history of supporting people with eating and food-related issues, obsessive habits, and the stress of caregiving. She also helps parents navigate adolescent behavior and blended family dynamics. Her focus areas include ADHD, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Vermont. Michelle asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Michelle encourages people to bring what feels most pressing, and she works with them to set small, manageable goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making clearer choices about work and money. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is handy for worry, depression, and everyday decision-making. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating strong emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress during life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their preferences and needs. The work is collaborative - clients and the therapist check what helps and adjust as they go.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since format details are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between errands. Some formats use less bandwidth and work well for short skill reviews, while others let people use video for face-to-face practice of communication and emotion work. Ask about the available session options when you start the matching process.
