About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, family problems, parenting stress, and self-esteem issues.
Her work focuses on client-centered care combined with cognitive behavioral ideas and elements of rational-emotive work. Sessions emphasize practical steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to support people in developing more independence and clearer choices in their day-to-day life.
Michelle uses a straightforward style in sessions. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients test new thoughts and behaviors. Conversations often include skills for managing mood, handling conflict with family, and coping with major life changes.
Over 25 years Michelle has helped people dealing with stress, sleeping problems, relationship troubles, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses longer-term concerns like bipolar disorder, obsessive behaviors, and aging-related stresses where those issues appear in adult clients.
Her goal is mutual respect and treatment plans that match a client’s needs. Prospective clients can expect clear suggestions, homework ideas, and a focus on practical change rather than vague assurances.
How Michelle’s therapies translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective first. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s priorities. This helps when someone is figuring out next steps after college, a breakup, or a move to a new city.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions tend to include clear tools and short exercises to practice between meetings. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and managing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try and adjust them over time. That discussion includes goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in week-to-week life.
Because the exact session formats aren’t specified in the profile, confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, early careers, or caregiving duties. It also supports shorter check-ins, practicing skills between meetings, and keeping continuity when life gets busy.
