About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and codependency concerns.
Her approach centers on client-centered care combined with practical tools from cognitive behavioral methods and related therapies. She focuses on helping people increase autonomy and decision-making in daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals, respectful collaboration, and strategies that can be used between meetings.
Michelle draws on acceptance and mindfulness ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that align with their values. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge thinking that fuels anxiety, depression, or repeated people-pleasing. Dialectical skills may be taught for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions.
In working through family and caregiving stress, Michelle helps clients set boundaries, improve communication, and reduce burnout symptoms. For those dealing with grief or life transitions, she offers ways to build routines and coping plans that make day-to-day life more manageable.
Her sessions are practical and straightforward. She aims to promote mutual respect and tailor plans to each person's situation. To begin, readers should use the site flow to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. This can help with chronic worry, people-pleasing, and making changes when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for sleep problems, worry, and for interrupting cycles of blame or rumination. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT exercise one week and a mindfulness skill the next, then adjusting based on what helps most. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking because specific formats were not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a quieter space. These practical benefits often make it simpler to follow through on therapy tasks and keep progress between meetings.Areas of focus
