About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience in California. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and codependency-related patterns. Michelle also helps with grief, anger, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem difficulties.
She practices in a client-centered way, focusing on practical conversation and concrete steps. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Michelle adapts her style to what a person needs in the moment rather than following a single method.
Her background includes work in both educational and clinical settings. That mix informs how she balances skill-building with emotional processing. She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, attachment, and behavior patterns.
In sessions she pays attention to how relationships shape choices and coping. For someone who keeps putting others first or struggles to set boundaries, she helps identify repeated patterns and small changes that reduce overwhelm. Michelle offers direct feedback and helps develop behavioral tools that can be used between sessions.
Michelle supports parents navigating blended family issues and people impacted by family problems. She also works with those experiencing social anxiety, self-harm urges, and broader mood disorders. She conducts work in English and practices under her California LMFT credential.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle uses a range of evidence-based techniques delivered in simple, practical terms. One common approach is skill-focused work that teaches concrete behavioral strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood swings. This helps when someone needs clear steps to reduce overwhelm and handle daily triggers.Another frequent strand is attachment-informed care, which looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries. That work involves tracing repeated interactions and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations within the same region. Licensed professionals often adjust pacing, homework, and follow-up to suit an online rhythm rather than promising any particular format.
