About Michelle
Michelle Taft Webb is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on family of origin issues and related concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She draws on several practical methods in session, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Existential approaches, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, developing clearer ways to think about problems, and practicing small changes that fit daily life. Michelle uses direct conversation and reflective listening to help people notice what keeps repeating from the past.
Clients often work on concrete issues such as substance use, infidelity, divorce and separation, or managing anger. She also supports people dealing with HIV/AIDS, forgiveness, and finding life purpose during midlife transitions. Where a need goes beyond her scope, she refers to other professionals for additional support.
Her background includes experience across inpatient and outpatient settings and work with diverse economic backgrounds. That breadth informs a practical, problem-focused style that aims to make therapy usable between sessions. Michelle centers goals that matter most to the individual and adjusts approaches as those goals become clearer.
Sessions are intended to help people break unhelpful family patterns and build different responses. Her work combines talk-based methods with tools from cognitive and mindfulness approaches to help people manage symptoms while exploring deeper questions about values and meaning.
How Michelle uses CBT and mindfulness online
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that increase anxiety, depression, or unhealthy behavior. CBT sessions break problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions and practice different responses that can be used day to day.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice present-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work often includes short breathing or attention exercises and simple habits to slow down strong emotional responses. Existential ideas are used to look at values and meaning when clients face big life questions or midlife shifts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and can shift approaches if something is not helping. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused on what the client wants to change.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into errands, work breaks, or caregiving schedules, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone better, while others offer a longer conversation when more depth is needed.
