Michelle Voegtle

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience supporting people through recovery, grief, and major life changes. She aims to help people who feel stuck by working compassionately and practically to build a life that reflects their values. Michelle emphasizes hope and active steps instead of staying trapped in the past.

She blends straightforward conversation with creative techniques to identify what gets in the way. Sessions focus on the present and on making usable changes. Michelle also brings experience from bereavement work and recovery settings to help with loss, addictions, and tough transitions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to clarify goals, reduce distressing patterns, and strengthen everyday coping. Michelle frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s values guide the work.

Michelle has supported people dealing with anger, anxiety, stress, relationship and family problems, caregiver strain, and issues around aging and end-of-life care. She also addresses self-esteem, career crossroads, codependency, and feelings of isolation. Sessions aim to move forward with small, practical steps that add up over time.

Her style is warm and pragmatic. She helps clients spot barriers, try new behaviors, and build confidence. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and then use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Please confirm current session formats before booking since options were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing sessions around work or caregiving schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that helps someone participate more easily.
