About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and mood symptoms. Her way of working is direct and respectful, aiming to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
Michelle keeps conversations focused and practical. She listens first, then tailors strategies to each person's situation. That can mean slowing down to name feelings, practicing new ways to handle conflict, or building routines that reduce daily stress.
Background and approach
Her background includes roles in educational settings and clinical environments. Those experiences shaped a flexible approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Michelle adapts methods to fit where a person is in their mental health journey rather than applying one fixed plan.
She emphasizes working with compassion and sensitivity. Michelle will develop a plan together with the client and adjust it as needs change. Progress is measured in small, realistic steps that feel doable between sessions.
People come to her for help with anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and family or blended family concerns. She also assists with attachment issues, codependency, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety and phobias, and other mood disorders. Michelle aims to create a steady, practical path toward clearer thinking and better daily coping.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes building clearer awareness of thoughts and feelings so people can try new behaviors and reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment patterns to help improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust plans as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still working on anxiety, relationships, and everyday coping.
