Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She draws on 17 years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, career questions, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her style is direct and approachable, aimed at clear steps clients can use outside sessions.

She uses therapies that emphasize values, skills, and emotion work to help people move forward. Sessions often include learning coping tools, practicing new ways to talk about hard topics, and setting small goals to build confidence. Michelle pays attention to how family history and life transitions affect current concerns.

Her background includes extensive work with eating concerns, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and parenting challenges with adolescents. She also helps people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, ADHD, and identity questions including LGBT-related concerns. Michelle blends methods to match what each person needs in the moment.

Clients can expect a warm, welcoming tone that still keeps work focused and practical. She aims to make sessions feel comfortable while moving toward clear, manageable change. Michelle is based in Vermont and brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to her practice.

When someone reaches out, she begins by learning what matters most to them and what practical steps fit their life. That helps shape a plan that combines skill building, emotional processing, and values-based choices to support progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when stress, career doubts, or life transitions create confusion about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and eating-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, which can help with relationship strain, overwhelm, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins during breaks. They also let people practice new skills in real life between meetings. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help clients apply what they learn to everyday routines.
