About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, eating and relationship concerns, and on patterns that come from the family people grew up in. Michelle also supports people facing parenting challenges and career strain.
She draws on several well-known approaches to help clients notice and change unhelpful patterns. Michelle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping.
Her practice includes direct work on eating and body image concerns, and on related topics such as codependency, control issues, and dissociation. She has experience helping people who struggle with commitment, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.
Michelle has documented experience with ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver stress. She also addresses blended family issues, abandonment wounds, and divorce or separation adjustments.
Sessions are conducted from her Vermont base. Michelle speaks English. For next steps she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this can look like identifying what matters most and testing small behavior changes to close the gap between values and daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to challenge thinking patterns and build different habits that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotion, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That helps keep sessions focused and practical rather than following a fixed script.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Licensed professionals often adapt materials and exercises so they work in remote sessions, and Michelle applies her ACT, CBT and DBT tools to help people address family-origin patterns, eating concerns, anxiety, and parenting strains over distance.
