About Michella
Michella Rahming is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping adults manage strong emotions and life challenges. She centers work on respect and understanding, listening first to what each person brings. Her style aims to make people feel heard while they learn skills to cope with stress, anger, and relationship strain.
She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior techniques are used when intense emotions or relationship conflict make daily life hard. Mindfulness practices and narrative work help people reconnect with values and rewrite unhelpful life stories. Michella has five years of experience supporting adults with addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep problems.
She also works with concerns such as shame, prejudice and discrimination, and issues that affect military veterans. Her background includes helping people in recovery who are sober and who use telemental health services. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida A&M University and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia.
She is licensed to practice as an LPC in Georgia and Alabama. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. That might include simple behavior changes, breathing and grounding skills, or short writing exercises to change unhelpful thoughts.
The aim is steady progress people can notice in daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and respect, helping people feel understood while they name what matters most to them. In online sessions this means conversations are shaped by the client's priorities and goals rather than a strict agenda.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear steps to shift harmful patterns. Online CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and real-world experiments that clients can try between video or text check-ins.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, including distress tolerance and emotion regulation. These skills can be practiced during sessions and reinforced through messaging or brief phone check-ins to support daily life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility and ways to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth is needed or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, skill reminders, or shorter sessions between longer meetings. These options make it easier to keep a steady routine of support.
