About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of practice. She holds an MA in Counseling and is credentialed as LPC and LMHC. Michelle works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, anger, coaching, and ADHD.
She uses straightforward, practical talk to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions commonly focus on immediate problems and skills people can use between meetings. Michelle draws on client-centered listening along with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes work in residential settings, foster care-related programs, independent living homes, and substance use treatment both residential and individual. That experience gives her familiarity with complex situations and overlapping concerns such as co-morbidity, family problems, and caregiver stress.
In session she may combine DBT skills, motivational interviewing techniques, and narrative approaches to address things like impulsivity, codependency, attachment or abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Expect clear explanations, practice of new skills, and checking in about what works in day-to-day life.
Michelle aims to help people make changes that fit their real schedules and pressures. She supports work on commitment issues, blended family stress, control problems, and recovery from domestic violence or substance-related difficulties. She offers services in English and practices from Missouri as an LPC and LMHC.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Michelle will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals evolve. The early sessions often involve figuring out what patterns matter most and which tools to practice between meetings.
Confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, let people check in from different locations, and allow shorter focused meetings when time is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice can continue between appointments.
