About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Fox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Her practice also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety.
Michelle uses straightforward, collaborative sessions to help people name and manage strong feelings. She listens for how guilt and shame show up in daily life and helps clients sort what those feelings are tied to. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as what comes up during conversations.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma and grief, so she often combines ways of working that address upsetting memories and current symptoms. She also helps people learn clearer ways to speak about needs and boundaries. That can reduce misunderstandings and lower recurring stress.
Michelle emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer self-talk rather than quick fixes. She guides clients through small changes that add up over time, such as short exposure to feared situations or practice conversations for difficult topics. She also supports people who struggle with panic by teaching breathing and grounding skills to use in the moment.
Clients can expect direct, adult-to-adult conversation and concrete practice. The work is collaborative; goals and techniques are chosen with the client. To begin, the site asks people to complete a brief matching form and schedule a first session.
Approaches for guilt, shame and anxiety in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used for guilt, shame, anxiety, and trauma include forms of exposure work and cognitive-based strategies. Exposure-style methods involve gradual, supported contact with feared memories or situations so the reactions lessen over time; this can help with panic attacks and avoidance. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying alternative, more balanced ways of thinking to reduce shame-driven self-criticism.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit the problem, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress or new obstacles appear.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings or to have shorter check-ins when days are busy.

Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss what will work best for each person.
