About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to sexual and gender identity. Michelle builds a calm, affirming space where people can say what’s hard and start sorting things out.

Her work often centers on everyday problems that pile up - workplace stress, relationship conflict, grief, and major life changes. She also supports people navigating intimacy, addiction, body image, and ADHD-related challenges. Men's wellbeing is one of the areas noted in her profile, and she brings that perspective into conversations when it fits the person’s goals.

Michelle uses practical, evidence-informed methods that aim to change how people think, feel, and connect. She helps clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, focused skill-building, and exploration of identity and values. She pays attention to communication and emotional connection when relationships are involved. The goal is clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Michelle’s background includes work with a broad range of concerns from grief and caregiving stress to attachment and commitment issues. She speaks English and practices in Nevada as an LCPC. To begin, visitors follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.

How specific approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making the conversation about the client's experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses focused exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment in relationships, helping people notice and shift interaction patterns that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the client’s life and priorities.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the setting where problems actually show up. Licensed professionals tailor session pace and homework to what each person needs, so online care can be a practical way to build lasting skills and clearer communication.
