About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, addictions, and life transitions. She works with adults on challenges like low self-esteem, coping with change, ADHD, and communication or control issues. Michelle speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Her approach is flexible and centered on each person. She starts by listening to what matters most and then adapts methods to fit that person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, problem solving, and setting small goals that build confidence over time. Michelle draws on several well-known therapy styles, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used together to address patterns like avoidance, codependency, impulsivity, and substance use.
She also helps with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, blended family strain, caregiver stress, and domestic violence history. Clients can expect a direct but warm approach that balances support with clear strategies. Michelle has worked in settings that include residential programs, foster care systems, independent living homes, and substance use treatment.
That background informs how she helps people build routines, safety plans, and relapse prevention skills. Michelle holds a master of arts in Counseling and maintains her LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She practices from Missouri and provides services in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and then shapes goals from what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to change unhelpful reactions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and anger by offering concrete tools to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those skills can reduce impulsive reactions and help with strong emotions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on how a person responds and what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, following up on homework, or staying connected between regular sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
