About Michelle
Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Michelle aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients name what is happening and set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on building coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and creating routines that support daily life.
Background and approach
Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, and trauma-focused methods guide work with people who carry painful memories.
She earned graduate degrees in counseling and has supervised clinicians, which contributes to her practical, clear teaching style in sessions. Michelle works with a wide range of concerns including relationship stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening carefully, and adapting sessions to what matters most. Online that means sessions move at each person's pace and goals drive the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try small experiments to change them; in virtual sessions clients often get simple worksheets, in-session coaching, and homework to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean blending approaches and adjusting over time as progress or new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and allow use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, progress notes, or coaching-style exchanges possible between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days when getting out is difficult.
