- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Alabama, Virginia, and Georgia. I have over five years of experience working with adult women who struggle with challenges in life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced spiritual growth and challenges. For clients who have substance abuse issues, I work with clients via telemental health who are presently in recovery and are sober.
One of my core values is unconditional positive regard. "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care." Teddy Roosevelt
My counseling approach is integrative: I use Client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions. These approaches will help clients to navigate through their challenges. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University and my Master's Degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

These sessions have really been helping me. She’s very respectful of my beliefs and values. She gives practical strategies and advice.
Michella helps me process my feeling and emotions, helping me through my healing process.
Michella is a God-send. After my first session with her, I had a major breakthrough. She listens attentively and provides thoughtful feedback and encouragement. I am eternally grateful to her for helping me navigate through this process.
Understanding and helpful. Looks at things from your perspective
Mrs. Michella has been amazing in our first two sessions. I am optimistic and look forward to our sessions.
I enjoy speaking to Ms. Rahming and I appreciates all she does to help me.
Michella has been great! I love how I knew she was completely committed to reaching my goals with me. There was genuine care and respect and o always looked forward to talking to her.
Really appreciate her expertise.
Michella has provided a framework that has helped me come to realization and recognition on my own. Because I “own” this knowledge, it has more meaning and impact on my recovery.
My conversations with Michella definitely help me from week to week. She make sure she follows up on things discussed in the past as well as pivoting where need be in conversation. She is appreciated and I feel that I truly have someone who can help me work through situations when life is going less than optimally.
I appreciate her help and I feel like I have made a lot of progress.
Michella is great! She listens very well, responds in a timely manner, and works along with you to get through whatever it is! Highly recommend!
Michella has been amazing for me! Choosing better help was one of the best decisions I could have made and them selecting Michella for me was a perfect match. She always offers a new perspective on the things I have trouble with and she’s always motivating me to be the best version of myself.
very understanding
Michella is the best therapist for me at this time in my life. She is so aware and informed about what's going on with me. She has given me so many coping skills to use when the triggers show up. I daily use the skills to manage my mental health because it's a daily thing. My mind doesn't take a break. Thank you
I highly recommend Michella as a therapist! I worked with her for a little under a year and she is super professional. Michella has really good insight after listening to me explain concerns or bothers in my life. She also provides a lot of good resources to work on the goals of therapy outsides of the weekly sessions.
Awesome therapist
Michella is the true definition of living in your purpose. I'm grateful that BetterHelp matched me to her. She is so supportive and attentive. She listens and gives great advice. I have growth a great deal while seeing Michella as my therapist. Highly recommend her!!!
Michella quickly assessed my situation, genuinely listened to my concerns and offered resources for me to take some action to feel better. I appreciate the contacts during the week to remind me of my goals and takeaways from the last session. I feel like I'm making progress already.
She’s the first therapist I’ve had that understands my true concerns and knows how to peel back the layers. She “gets me” and that’s important to me.
Listens are offers alternative solutions to positive thinking
Michella is easy to talk to, makes great points to get me to see things from a different perspective. She’s professional and excellent at her job. I look forward to speaking to her each and every time.
my therapist is professional and personable. I have gained so much in this month and look forward to whats to come. I have definitively changed.
Michella is amazing! She got me. She challenged me. She guided me in a way that was so helpful.
I am truly grateful for my therapist. Michella is very resourceful in helping me to get the needed information to help me heal as I go through this process of my life. She is very professional in our sessions. I take away something helpful from each session. Thank you for helping me.
I’ve been seeing my therapist for a while now, and can truly say I’m thoroughly benefiting from the service. Mrs. Rahming is great at her job. I knew that the services were working when I was told by a friend she’s noticed a change in me. I’m more confident, able to set boundaries and starting to put myself first. If you have a chance to work with Mrs.Rahming please do you won’t regret it!
Michella is the best! For the first time I have a therapist that I feel comfortable enough to be open and honest with, which in turn has made therapy so much more progressive. Even when I feel like I don’t have anything to discuss at therapy, Michella ensures that I know the direction to take in order to put in work and better myself. In just a matter of a few months, she has helped me completely redirect my life into the direction that I feel like it needs to be going in. I’m so appt that better help paired us.
Michella Rahming is a very insightful counselor. Initially , I was receiving counseling to manage the loss of a friend due to covid . In the midst of my sessions , I had a mentor and teacher to expire as well . I was an emotional mess. Michella pivoted in the moment of the immedate loss and identified tools I needed . Her sessions helped me to sit with the grief and learn from it. I have had a tendency to not acknowledge grief/ loss fully. And it subsequently affected my physical health later.I appreciated the worksheets Michella gave for reflection. As well as, referrals to group seminars on the better help site and support groups in the community . I gained perspective, strategy and emotional support when I needed it most. Thanks Michella and Betterhelp.com
Michella is very patient and understanding.
Would highly recommend her to a friend.
She’s professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, gives good coping tips.
Michelle is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She “gets” me. She’s very intuitive and knows how to challenge my thoughts and ask the right questions. She’s been a God send to me.
She’s amazing
Grateful
I love working with Michella. I've been using Betterhelp for almost a year and have been with Michella since the beginning. She understands me and provides me with so much expertise in my areas of struggle. I love the assignments and journals she gives me weekly to do. I'm able to reflect on my week while implementing things we've talked about into my life. I would highly recommend her and Betterhelp.
Michella has been a total life changer for me. She listens attentively to my concerns and is able to guide me in the correct direction to help past/current/and future situations I may be in. I look forward to our sessions every week!

My therapist (Michelle Rahming) is everything! I’ve been in session for 2 weeks coming up on 3 and my therapist is a great listener, she’s empathetic, she make suggestions to help me find different ways (strategies) that can help me cope with what feelings I’m experiencing. She has help me more ways than she even know. It’s always great to have someone listen to you, and not be judgmental but get down to the root of the problem. I look forward to my sessions, sharing my feelings. I am so grateful for my therapist for helping me heal through past and present trauma. No one said it would be easy but no one said it’s impossible either. I could say so much more but I’ll save some room for others to chime in. Thank you so much I really appreciate you
Michella is very professional but also very caring and personal. She is a wonderful therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
My favorite therapist that I've ever had. She's completely amazing and always knows how to help me no matter the situation. I feel comfortable with her and like she understands me.
Michella continuously offers me radical acceptance. She is safe, kind, and generous. She offers me the space I need to process without judgment, and meets me with encouragement for the steps I make towards a more complete version of myself. I highly recommend her, and I am so grateful to BetterHelp for connecting us!
Michella was very nice and easy to talk to. I appreciate her time.

She has been helpful right from the start.
Amazing counselor! Would definitely recommend to others. Always helpful and has great advice and understanding.
Michella has been a godsend. She is very patient and understanding. She challenges you and takes you out of your comfort zone because she sees the strength in you even when you don’t see it within yourself. This journey has not been a walk in the park but it has definitely been worth it. You have to be open minded but once you make that decision you will definitely start to see and feel the changes and growth.
This is my first time in therapy, and I had reservations, but I am able to talk to Michella with ease. She is very attentive and sympathetic to my opinions and emotions. Expect accountability, positive feedback and encouragement!
I am feeling better about myself and I think it has alot to do with this therapy. I no I haven't been doing it long but I am noticing a difference in myself. Also I love how she talks to me. I was afraid a therapist would expect me to do all the talking but Michella talks to me. And relates to me. I really like her and the worksheets she sends me. Some I find difficult but she encourages me to just do my best. She seems to send the exact information I need at the time. She is very responsive to my messages and she cares about my well being and what is best for my mental health instead of just a paycheck.
