About Michelle
Michelle Kunick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. She has been practicing since 2018 and focuses on helping people work through issues like addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, and anger. Michelle aims to build a respectful, compassionate connection with each person she meets.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Sessions are person-centered and strength-based, with practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. Michelle blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical techniques, mindfulness, and relationship-focused methods to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Michelle describes her style as warm, relational, and interactive. She listens without using stigmatizing labels and treats people with kindness. Sessions are tailored so each plan fits the client's situation and goals.
In practical terms she helps people learn new perspectives and daily skills that support coping and behavioral change. That can include strategies for managing stress, addressing substance use patterns, handling relationship conflict, or navigating life transitions. She emphasizes empowerment and gradual progress.

Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. It involves active listening and asking questions that help people find their own solutions, useful for building motivation and self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes practical tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that many people find useful during high-stress times.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Michelle will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative mindset makes it easier to tailor care to individual needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone can be a quicker check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing contact between sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles, helping people fit therapy into busy lives.
