About Michelle
Michelle Waguespack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, relationships, parenting, and codependency. Her background includes work in university settings, businesses, and private practice.
Michelle's original graduate focus was marriage and family, and she later developed a strong interest in career counseling. She supports people at many stages of work life, from exploring options to navigating transitions and workplace stress. She also helps with communication struggles and the impact of grief and loss.
Sessions are collaborative. Michelle listens first, then helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations commonly include reworking self-talk, practicing new ways to ask for needs, and small experiments to test changes in daily life.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused tools. That means she pays attention to what matters to the person, helps challenge unhelpful thinking, and looks for concrete next steps that move things forward.
People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, steadier confidence, or help balancing career and family demands. She encourages straightforward planning and short-term goals when useful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's priorities. It helps when someone needs their experiences heard, wants to clarify values, or chooses next steps based on their own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It can help reduce anxiety or low mood by identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing small changes that change how someone feels and acts.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, practical steps. Sessions often identify one or two small goals and test what works between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often find online work lets people test new communication skills in everyday life without changing routines.
