About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Vermont-based therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and balances professional practice with family life. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make sessions feel welcoming for people with busy households.

Background and approach
She also helps people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her style combines acceptance and action. Michelle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward it.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach coping tools for anxiety and overwhelming emotions. Michelle holds an MD and is licensed as an LCPC and an LCMHC. She works with adults on issues related to family of origin, abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and eating and food-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. She mentions that parents with small children may have little ones present during sessions, reflecting a flexible approach to busy family life.
How Michelle’s approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when anxiety shows up. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that matter to the person.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful patterns. It is often used for anxiety and mood concerns because it includes clear strategies and homework to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation can make daily life feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Michelle will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual interaction matters, phone can be easier on low bandwidth, quick text exchanges work for short check-ins, and live chat fits people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or busy schedules while using the clinical approaches above.
