About Michelle
Michelle Burdick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. Michelle also supports those facing depression, grief, and career uncertainty with practical steps and clear discussion.
She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and try small, doable behavior changes. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented so clients leave with things to practice between meetings.
Background and approach
Michelle brings three years of counseling experience together with prior background in human resources. That workplace experience informs how she talks about careers, resumes, interviewing, and networking. She aims to help clients clarify values and feel more confident when pursuing job opportunities.
People meet with her to work on self-esteem, coping with life transitions, or managing social anxiety and phobia. She also supports those dealing with cancer or fertility issues, helping them name priorities and make decisions that fit their lives. Her style blends short-term, goal-focused work with space to reflect on meaning and purpose.
Michelle helps clients set realistic steps, check progress, and adjust plans as needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that fuel stress, anxiety, or anger and then test new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for tackling symptoms and building daily habits that reduce distress.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help people notice automatic reactions and create space to choose different responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. She adjusts the plan based on what is working and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports on-the-go reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, medical appointments, or family responsibilities.
