More about Michelle

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am an LPC licensed in the state of Louisiana. My counseling experience has spanned the university, business, and private practice settings. Although my degree focus is in the marriage and family area, I built a specialty in career counseling working with all stages and phases of career issues. In addition, I am passionate about working with clients in the areas of communication, anxiety, grief& loss, confidence building, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

I believe that good therapy comes from a warm, non-judgmental professional relationship. I will work with you to help you achieve your goals and live your best life.

My counseling approach is collaborative, and client focused and I would be honored to work with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Michelle is fabulous. She’s easy to talk to, caring, and an extremely thoughtful listener. I look forward to her educated views and have always felt so much better and stronger after talking with her.

I am forever grateful for getting Michelle as my therapist. I recognize that not everyone can say they hit the nail on the head with their first therapy experience, but I absolutely did. She has a way of drawing out the things that maybe you’re not exactly great at expressing but in such a comfortable and not awkward way. The insight she offers is extremely thought provoking and I will forever have those little nuggets and tools she has shared in my pocket forever. I could not be more happy or recommend her more!

Michelle was a very helpful counselor. I was in a bad place when I reached out for help and Michelle took the time to listen and see why I was feeling so bad. She was compassionate and made me feel like she really cared what was going on with me. She asked questions, offered advice and provided some worksheets to help me work through my problems. She was very timely in responding to me and I will definitely reach out to her if I should need help again.
