About Michelle

Michelle Grimmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, and stress. Michelle also helps people managing codependency patterns and attachment-related struggles.

Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps that help people notice patterns and make different choices. She listens for how relationships, childhood experiences, and current stressors shape reactions. From there she offers ways to test new behaviors and responses in everyday life.

Michelle uses approaches that center connection and personal meaning. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotionally focused methods to address closeness and conflict. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people break unhelpful thinking and try new actions.

She pays attention to common pressures like caregiving stress, workplace overwhelm, grief, and recovery from domestic violence or other trauma. Michelle also supports people working through body image, commitment concerns, and sleep or parenting difficulties.

Sessions emphasize practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration of identity and values. People leave with small experiments to practice between sessions and clearer goals for relationships and self-care. Michelle encourages honest, direct conversations about boundaries, people-pleasing, and how to rebuild a sense of self after years of caretaking.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and uses a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle uses attachment-based work to identify how past relationship patterns show up now. Online sessions can be used to notice reactions to closeness, practice new boundary language, and reflect on attachment needs in real time.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT techniques translate well to video or phone sessions because they use clear exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Michelle will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their concerns, goals, and comfort with different ways of working. That choice is revisited as needs change so treatment stays relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows therapists to work with clients across locations when appropriate, while matching the approach and pacing to the person's life.
