About Michelle
Michelle Harmolin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

How Michelle Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and decide their own goals while the therapist offers support and reflection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking and build different habits for anxiety, anger, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or ongoing support when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life.
