About Michelle
Michelle Carr is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong feelings and stressful life moments. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, mood instability, anger, addiction, grief, and life changes. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical next steps people can use between sessions.
She aims to make sessions feel calm and real. Clients get a nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters to them. Michelle listens with empathy and helps people name what they are feeling before deciding on a plan together.
Background and approach
Michelle blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws from client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in the client’s experience. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and practice new reactions to stress and anger.
For trauma and intense emotional patterns she may introduce techniques that target difficult memories and teach skills to tolerate strong emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck, and narrative ideas to help people rewrite harmful self-stories. She offers practical homework and coping tools to use between sessions.
That can include breathing and grounding exercises, communication practice, or small behavior experiments. Michelle aims to help people build more balance, stronger self-care, and clearer ways of handling everyday pressures.

How Michelle blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, so conversations online start where the client is and move at a comfortable pace. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what topics to work on first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. It works well for anxiety, anger, and depressive thinking because it breaks problems into clear steps and practical exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be useful for mood instability, anger management, and stressful relationships.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy lets people use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their day. Video calls are good for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be simpler check-ins, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact and homework prompts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
