About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Michelle also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and changes in life circumstances.
Michelle practices in California and brings experience from both school and clinical settings. She uses a client-centered approach, meeting people where they are and shaping sessions to fit their needs.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and respectful, and she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for discussing hard topics. In sessions she adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than following a rigid plan. That can mean focusing on coping skills for intense emotions, building healthier communication habits, or developing routines that reduce daily stress.
Michelle emphasizes small, concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She describes her work as collaborative - the therapist and client choose strategies together. Michelle also pays attention to attachment patterns, blended family dynamics, and codependency when those issues come up.
Her goal is to help people feel more in control of reactions and relationships. Michelle offers a respectful and down-to-earth style. She values sensitivity and compassion while helping people make manageable changes.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to support people through that process.
What Michelle works with
Everything Michelle lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Michelle's practice.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to the person in front of her. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for intense emotions. That work teaches practical tools to manage anger, anxiety, and mood symptoms in day-to-day life. Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment patterns. It helps people recognize how past experiences shape reactions and learn new ways to connect and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Michelle frames sessions as joint problem-solving so clients help steer the plan and pace of work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full-session conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief updates, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy flexible around school, work, and family life.
