About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She draws on long experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship problems, and life changes. Michelle also works with concerns such as parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She centers sessions on each person's goals and daily challenges. Michelle uses client-centered conversation along with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
Michelle believes therapy should promote autonomy. She and the client create treatment plans that fit the person's life and priorities. Sessions emphasize respect, clear communication, and skills that can be used between meetings.
In sessions she may introduce mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help with stressful thoughts and strong emotions. Dialectical skills are available when people need tools for managing intense feelings and building better emotional balance. Her practice is suited to people facing caregiving strain, midlife questions, family conflict, obsessive patterns, or the emotional fallout of major changes.
Michelle aims to help people regain steady routines and clearer priorities. Michelle accepts work by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She works in English and is located in Georgia.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling the first appointment.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help when worry, low mood, or life transitions make it hard to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits for sleep, mood, and daily functioning.
Michelle treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She will listen first, discuss goals, and suggest methods that match what the person wants to change. Together they try tools and adjust plans based on what actually helps.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep continuity between meetings, and use techniques in real time.
