About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship strain. Her work centers on building practical skills and clearer choices for daily life.
She uses a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their life. Michelle pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance-based ideas and mindfulness to help people tolerate difficult feelings without getting stuck. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs and goals. Michelle emphasizes mutual respect and helps clients develop more independence in handling challenges.
She creates straightforward plans that target sleep, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Her background includes long-term work with people facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She also supports those dealing with obsessive thoughts, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and isolation.
Michelle offers a calm, practical style focused on steady progress. People who want clear tools and a respectful, collaborative relationship often find her approach useful. Sessions are conducted in English from her Georgia practice.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It encourages clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that increase distress and then replaces them with more helpful behaviors and coping skills; this approach often helps with sleep problems, mood challenges, and relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, useful for stress and impulse control.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan so the approach fits practical needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy offers several formats to match different days and demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and richer interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or other routines.
