About Michelle
Michelle Grimmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and the practical effects of stress and anxiety. Her work also covers addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Michelle helps people who are carrying shame, guilt, or attachment wounds find clearer ways to relate to themselves and others. She encourages honest conversations about what went wrong and what people want instead. Sessions are grounded in straightforward talk and practical steps rather than jargon.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, client-centered listening to follow each person's pace, and cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts. She also uses emotionally focused tools to work through intimacy and connection issues, and existential ideas when people question meaning or purpose.
In session she listens for the stories that keep someone stuck - blame, avoidance, or fear of rejection - and then helps identify small changes that can shift those patterns. That might mean practicing new ways to speak up, trying a different behavior, or slowly testing a feared outcome.
Michelle accepts clients who live outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. Practical details such as cost depend on location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of connecting, especially for intimacy and abandonment concerns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace. In virtual sessions this looks like reflective conversation, checking in about feelings, and adapting the session flow to what feels most useful in the moment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down negative thoughts and tests them with small behavioral experiments. Remotely, this often means setting short between-session tasks, using thought records, and reviewing what happened to adjust the next step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions so the plan can change if something isn't helping.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports homework and between-session exercises that help translate insights into daily life.
