About Michelle
Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate major life shifts. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and help people move forward. Many come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, addiction, and career or relationship strain.
Michelle blends straightforward conversation with compassionate support. She listens for what matters most, then helps clients try new ways of coping. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep people stuck and build small, doable changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her work centers on the present while acknowledging past wounds. She uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to ease painful feelings. Cognitive strategies are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and create clearer choices.
Michelle also draws on client-centered and motivational techniques to meet each person where they are. That means attention to values, practical goal setting, and encouragement to keep trying when change feels hard. Coaching-style work is offered alongside counseling when a client wants skill-building and forward momentum.
She has particular experience with bereavement, recovery, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. Michelle helps people facing loneliness, guilt or shame, midlife questions, and issues tied to aging. Her style is hopeful, pragmatic, and focused on progress rather than perfection.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on identifying core values and taking small actions that align with what matters most, which can help with stress, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for reframing thoughts and testing new actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, and many everyday challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide whether ACT, CBT, or a client-centered, motivational style fits best. Goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful guide the choice rather than a single fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone calls can suit those with lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and to continue progress even when schedules are tight.
