About Michelle

Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience. She practices from Vermont and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, eating concerns, parenting struggles, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and ADHD.

She approaches work in a practical, down-to-earth way. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centered methods. That means conversations about values, changing patterns of thinking, building emotion skills, and practicing new behaviors between sessions.

Michelle has a long history of supporting people with eating disorders, anxiety, and obsessive thoughts. She also helps parents manage difficult adolescent behaviors and the strain of caregiving. She names abandonment, body image, blended family issues, codependency, dissociation, family of origin concerns, and intimacy-related problems among areas she addresses.

In session she listens, reflects, and offers concrete strategies to try. Therapy often combines skills practice, noticing patterns, and setting small goals. She includes coaching-style conversation when helpful for career or life transitions.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Because formats were not listed in the biography, prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, guilt, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, obsessive thinking, and negative self-beliefs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills, which can help when strong feelings or relationship conflicts feel overwhelming. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and situation, and may blend approaches as needs change. Clients and therapist check in together about what is helping and adjust the plan. The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins when life is hectic. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skills practice between sessions or to homework exercises that are reviewed together online. Ask about session length and format when you schedule so arrangements match your everyday routine.
