About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes, and lists LGBT, family, grief, parenting, and depression among her areas of work.
She helps people who are navigating common adult transitions. That includes divorce, empty nest adjustments, new jobs, and bereavement. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most troubling and to set practical goals for change.
Michelle uses straightforward conversation and skills practice to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns and try small, repeatable experiments in thought and action.
Over two decades she has guided people toward clearer decision making and stronger coping skills. People leave with tools they can use when stress or setbacks reappear. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, workplace problems, postpartum and mood concerns, and isolation.
Sessions are aimed at building concrete strategies for everyday life, like managing anxiety before a job interview or finding routines that support mood. Michelle is based in Michigan and conducts work in English. To begin, visitors follow the site’s matching steps to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people sort out what matters most. In practice this means sessions often begin with the therapist asking plain questions, repeating back what she hears, and helping clients name priorities and concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and tests small practical changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, social avoidance, and workplace stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is working and adjusts strategies based on progress and preference.
The site lists the practical steps to begin and you should confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around classes, shifts, or parenting duties. Ask about the current session options when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
