About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, eating and relationship concerns, and supports people facing life changes and career pressure. Michelle lists young adult issues among her specialties and often helps people managing transitions into new stages of life.
She uses a mix of evidence-based approaches in sessions. Michelle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address emotional regulation and relationship patterns.
Michelle has deep experience with eating-related concerns, anxiety, obsessive tendencies, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment, codependency, and body image struggles. Her background includes work with blended family dynamics and separation or divorce stress.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Michelle aims to help people develop skills they can use between meetings, such as behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and clearer communication techniques. She encourages straightforward goal setting and regular check-ins on progress.
Michelle works from Vermont and provides services in English. Because session formats are not listed here, people should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Michelle’s approaches translate to online sessions
Michelle frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-based actions rather than trying to eliminate every difficult thought, which can help with feeling stuck during life transitions. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns, which is useful for anxiety and eating-related habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean combining ACT skills for values-driven action with CBT exercises or adding DBT tools for handling intense emotions when needed.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Working online still involves goal setting, homework-style tasks, and regular review of progress so that the work can connect to everyday routines.
