About Michelle

Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are burdened by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship strain. Her work also covers parenting concerns, sleep challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Michelle uses a client-centered approach that keeps each persons priorities in focus. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions aim to build practical skills and encourage each persons independence rather than rely on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Her process begins by listening and learning what matters most to the client. From there she co-creates a plan that reflects personal goals and real life constraints. Therapy may include mindfulness techniques and strategies that come from dialectical behavior ideas to manage strong emotions.

Michelle also supports people dealing with family and caregiving stress, attachment concerns, codependency, and midlife transitions. She works with issues such as infidelity, loneliness, life purpose, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

Sessions are shaped around mutual respect and practical steps. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction, reduce emotional overload, and move toward a more satisfying day-to-day life. Clients who want a straightforward, skills-focused approach will find a down-to-earth style and steady support.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take actions that match what matters to them. It helps with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and coping when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support stress, grief, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they try practical techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, skip travel time, and check in from a quiet moment during the day. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where they face challenges. Licensed professionals will help tailor the frequency and structure so therapy matches your routine and needs.
