About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career shifts, and parenting challenges. She lists family and family of origin issues among her focus areas and works with people facing grief, burnout, and life transitions.
She helps people clarify what is troubling them and sorts the practical problems from the emotional ones. Sessions focus on learning new ways of thinking and acting so everyday situations feel more manageable. Michelle uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work rather than clinical jargon.
Her approach combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy. That means clients can expect a listening ear alongside tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.
Typical reasons people come include divorce or separation, new jobs, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, postpartum depression, midlife questions, and loneliness. She also notes experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication problems, workplace issues, and compassion fatigue.
Michelle aims to teach skills that carry forward after counseling ends. Over a series of meetings people practice coping strategies, communication techniques, and ways to reframe long-standing family patterns. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer decision-making.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and helping them lead the conversation about goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and to change unhelpful behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to join from quieter surroundings or when being on camera is not preferred. Ask about current session options when you schedule.Areas of expertise
