About Michelle

Michelle Taft Webb is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, self-esteem, grief, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also helps with men's issues, career concerns, life changes, and problems tied to family or past trauma. Michelle works with clients who identify as LGBT and those navigating HIV/AIDS-related concerns.

She uses clear, practical talk in sessions and focuses on what will help a person move forward. Michelle draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to shape individualized plans. She frames goals in everyday terms and helps clients try skills between sessions.

Michelle brings 12 years of clinical experience in a range of settings, including work with substance use and inpatient and outpatient care. That background informs how she assesses risk, relapse, and supports people through difficult transitions. When a need falls outside her scope she refers clients to other professionals.

Her practice aims to be straightforward and goal-oriented while still making space to process feelings and life history. Sessions often include talking, problem-solving, and simple skill-building exercises meant to be useful in day-to-day life. Michelle emphasizes collaboration so people feel part of the plan.

Clients who choose Michelle can expect a therapist who balances practical strategies with attention to meaning and values. She asks about what matters most, then tailors work to each person’s situation and aims.

How certain approaches translate to online care

CBT uses clear steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger problems because it focuses on small, practical changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help stress, rumination, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or video feels too demanding, while others choose video to include visual cues in conversation. A licensed therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format choices during intake to match sessions to everyday life.
