Hi! You have made the first step on a new journey and I am here to support you in that process.
I know talking to a stranger can be a bit unnerving. So, let me introduce myself. I'm Michelle Stroebel (they/she). I have been practicing as a counselor for over five years now and in the mental health field for about 25 years. My journey started when I received my Bachelor of Arts in Human Services from Gardner Webb University. During that time, I worked in multiple roles in mental health, ranging from direct care to supervisory and even in state Medicaid policy and administration. I later earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from Montreat College. I have also returned to school can am currently working on a Doctor of Behavioral Health. I have worked as a psychotherapist both online and in private practice. I also provide consultation and training on brain health. I have experience working with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, executive function dysfunction, and life stressors.
I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. I believe that everyone deserves to be loved and understood. I am passionate about helping others heal, and my therapeutic approach consists of mindfulness, energy healing, person-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based therapies. I am a reiki practitioner with a heavy focus on energy and the brain-body connection. However, I meet the needs of clients on an individual, case-by-case basis. I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you.

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.
