About Michelle
Michelle Smith is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people adjust to life changes and reduce stress. She holds LCMHC and LMHC credentials and brings ten years of experience in mental health to her practice. Michelle centers care on practical, real-world steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
She uses a client-centered style that emphasizes respect and collaboration. Sessions focus on what matters to each person, with space to name goals and try different ways to reach them. The work often includes skills for handling anxiety, improving sleep and eating patterns, and managing mood challenges like depression and bipolar symptoms.
Michelle also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and parenting stresses. She supports people navigating identity topics, including LGBT-related issues. Her background includes work with trauma, attachment concerns, and caregiving strain, so she often helps clients build stability after difficult experiences.
Her approach draws on several established methods, mixing techniques to match individual needs. That might mean learning practical coping skills, talking through relationship patterns, or practicing new ways of responding to strong emotions. Michelle aims to help people move toward values they care about while handling obstacles along the way.
Michelle accepts international clients and offers services from Oklahoma. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps you clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and building actions that match your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns and teach practical coping skills. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals and preferences. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and checking what helps in day-to-day life as the plan evolves.
