About Michelle
Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and big life changes. She uses a direct and compassionate style to help people get unstuck and build the life they want. Michelle speaks plainly and focuses on practical next steps that feel doable.
Michelle combines counseling and coaching skills to focus on the present and the future. Sessions often look at what is causing pain now, then move toward concrete actions that reduce distress and increase meaning.
Background and approach
She brings experience in recovery, bereavement, and transitions, and helps people find forward motion rather than staying stuck in old hurts. Her work includes support for relationship strain, codependency concerns, addiction and recovery issues, and caregiver stress. Michelle also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life issues, and midlife or career transitions.
She listens for what matters most and helps clients set small goals to change daily life. Therapy sessions may include mindfulness practices, skills to change thinking patterns, and motivational techniques to keep progress moving. The approach is collaborative - the client’s values and goals guide each step.
Michelle frames work as pragmatic and hope-driven, aiming for steady, realistic change. Michelle holds licensure in South Carolina and Connecticut and offers care in English. Her style is straightforward, warm, and action-oriented for people seeking clear steps through anxiety, loss, or life shifts.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking meaningful steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, using a mix of techniques as needed. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that build momentum and restore a sense of purpose.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between appointments and flexible check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving schedule while keeping care consistent.
