Michelle Chabot

Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers a steady, down-to-earth presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She creates a space where clients can tell their story and work toward realistic goals. Michelle aims to help people find hope by noticing patterns, setting clear goals, and building practical steps to move forward.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in professional counseling, and she is an LPC in Colorado. Michelle draws on life experience from 12 years of service in the Air Force and later work supporting veterans and military families. That background informs her understanding of career transitions, relocation stress, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Michelle uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, finding workable solutions, and re-reading life events to shift how they matter in the present. She pairs those methods with person-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness skills to build confidence and resilience. Sessions focus on what the client wants to accomplish and practical steps to get there.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family stress, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, and work or career questions. She also supports people navigating fertility and adoption issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout from infidelity or divorce.

Michelle’s style is collaborative and goal oriented. She aims to help clients improve communication, boost self-esteem, and manage life changes with more ease. Prospective clients can expect straightforward talk, focused problem solving, and skills they can use between sessions.

How her evidence-based methods translate to online work

Michelle often draws on cognitive approaches that look at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. This method helps when anger, anxiety, or low mood get in the way of daily life by teaching practical ways to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on clear, short-term goals. These methods help people identify small, achievable steps they can try between sessions to improve communication, manage stress, or address parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can be useful for people juggling work, family, or relocation while still wanting regular access to a licensed professional.
