About Michelle
Michelle Owusu is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Arizona and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity and sexuality.
She helps people talk through relationship challenges and communication problems. She supports those coping with life changes like new careers, parenting, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and the ups and downs of early adulthood. Michelle also addresses mood disorders, addictions, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and aim to identify patterns, try small changes, and track progress over time. She introduces tools for managing stress, anger, and social anxiety while discussing how those tools fit into daily routines.
Michelle draws on experience working across multicultural backgrounds and with people navigating nontraditional relationship structures, blended family questions, and commitment concerns. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current choices.
Clients who want help with career decisions, self-esteem, sexual identity, or compassion fatigue can work on concrete goals and coping strategies. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new thinking and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Another approach examines relationship and attachment patterns to improve communication and intimacy and to manage conflict or commitment concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust approaches based on what works. Sessions are a place to review what has been tried, learn new tools, and decide next steps together.
