I feel so lucky to have been paired with Michelle, someone who listens earnestly and responds with care and empathy. I’ve learned a lot from our sessions, and I’m in awe of her wisdom where her responses and insights always deeply resonate with me. I’ve been able to gain clarity on matters in my life, recognize and begin to unlearn unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, and overall take it day-by-day with her support. I’m completely comfortable expressing myself without feeling like I’d be judged or shamed, which is very important to me in these types of professional relationships. Also, she is quite understanding and flexible with scheduling, and really cares to work with you, not against you. She’s punctual and available to chat as well! All in all, I won the counseling lottery with her.

My name is Michelle L. Medley; I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I was educated at Old Dominion University, with a Masters Degree in Counseling. I have been working in the helping field since 2003. I have experience with symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Grief and Loss, and Substance Use. I have worked in public and private schools, residential treatment facilities, outpatient care, and acute inpatient care. My theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on identifying negative thinking patterns, changing those thinking patterns, thus changing our interactions / reactions.

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.
