About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor who practices in Nevada. She has 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her work also includes supporting people coping with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues and intimacy challenges.
Michelle creates an accepting, calm atmosphere where people can speak plainly about what’s hard. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication.
Background and approach
She helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build everyday routines that feel doable. Her background blends client-centered listening with structured approaches when needed. Michelle uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and from mindfulness to help people feel steadier in the moment.
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas for relationship concerns and problem-solving tools for workplace stress. Clients often work on improving self-esteem, managing anger, and navigating major life transitions. Michelle supports people who want to strengthen relationships, cope with loss, or change behaviors that aren’t serving them.
The focus is on small, realistic steps that add up over time. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to therapist availability.
Michelle aims to partner with each person to set goals and track progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Michelle often uses client-centered therapy, which centers conversations on the person's experience and priorities. This approach focuses on active listening, validation, and helping people clarify goals so they can decide what changes to try.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with clearer thinking and concrete behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adjusts methods over time and collaborates on small, testable steps to track progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets people fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to choose the format that best fits daily routines.
