About Michella
Michella Rahming is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She works with adults facing issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, career stress, and substance use recovery. She also addresses concerns linked to identity, grief, sleep problems, and the stresses common in early adulthood.
Michella uses an integrative approach that draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside time to make sense of feelings and past experiences. Clients gain tools for managing anxiety, mood, and difficult behaviors while also naming patterns that affect relationships and work.
She has experience supporting people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction who are currently maintaining sobriety. Michella also works with concerns related to guilt and shame, compassion fatigue, multicultural stress, prejudice and discrimination, and issues many women face. Young adult issues are part of her focus areas, including career starts, identity shifts, and the pressures of early independence.
Michella completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Florida A & M University and earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia. Her practice emphasizes respectful listening and practical strategies that fit everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Michella commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered work emphasizes attentive listening and helping people clarify what matters to them. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills to change mood and behavior, which can include homework between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. DBT skills teach practical techniques for managing intense feelings, improving interactions, and reducing impulses that cause harm.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs and preferences. This helps young adults test what fits their life and make steady plans for change.
