About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or big life changes. Her work is practical, straightforward, and rooted in respect for each person's story.
Clients can expect a calm, accepting space where conversation guides the work. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on real steps that ease daily pressure and strengthen coping skills.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, sexual identity, intimacy concerns, and a range of relationship and family issues. Michelle draws on several well-established methods to meet different needs rather than one fixed approach. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships.
She often blends talk-based work with specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. That can mean practicing new ways of communicating, shifting negative thoughts, or learning mindfulness techniques to manage strong feelings. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Michelle also supports people dealing with burnout, caregiver stress, body image and identity questions, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder. She speaks English and works with adults in Nevada who want a practical, compassionate partner for change.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what comes up in session, and helps build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Michelle will work together with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques and adjust what isn't working over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and texting suit brief contacts, quick skill reminders, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
