About Michelle
Michelle Farias is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. She brings a calm, patient presence and aims to make the first steps feel simple and doable for worried visitors. Michelle has 25 years of experience working with people who are anxious, caregivers under strain, and members of the LGBT community.
She also addresses panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, and the life questions that come up in midlife and young adulthood.
Background and approach
Her practice includes hospice and end-of-life counseling when those issues arise. Her way of working is practical and client-focused. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals.
Sessions may include learning new thinking habits, practicing mindfulness skills, and trying small steps that build confidence over time. Michelle prefers to begin with a video meeting but offers other formats when that works better. She communicates with clients by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging and checks messages on weekdays.
She will not conduct sessions while someone is driving or riding in a car for safety reasons. People choosing to work with Michelle start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Her counseling combines straightforward strategies and gentle support so people can reduce overwhelm and move toward clearer next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client's pace. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and supporting whatever goals you bring, which can help with anxiety, grief, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It involves learning practical skills to reduce panic, manage social anxiety, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that match what you need, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide which tools to keep using and which to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you connect face to face, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, deal with limited bandwidth, or make room for brief check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments.
