About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strains, and questions about identity, including LGBT concerns. Michelle concentrates on practical steps people can take to manage stress and move forward.

She uses clear conversations to untangle what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on specific problems like workplace stress, social anxiety, shame, or navigating relationship conflict. Michelle helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of communicating, and practice skills between sessions.

Her background includes approaches drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods guide how she listens and suggests concrete strategies rather than relying on labels or jargon.

Michelle works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She also addresses addiction-related struggles, eating and body-image issues, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and career transitions. There is attention to attachment and intimacy-related problems as well.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect a collaborative problem-solving style that mixes talk with practical exercises. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details.

How Michelle uses her approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and decide on practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and builds concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people examine how emotions shape their reactions and relationships, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work Michelle does with each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and needs.

The reader should confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, limit travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her during the intake about session length, frequency, and whether video or phone options will work better for a particular day or circumstance.
