About Michella

Her background includes helping people through grief, trauma, and issues linked to identity and discrimination. She has experience supporting those facing guilt and shame, veterans and armed forces concerns, and young adult transitions. She also cites work with LGBT issues and women's concerns.
Michella trained in psychology at Florida A & M University and completed a master’s degree in counseling at Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. She holds LPC credentials in Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia.
In sessions she emphasizes respect and steady support rather than quick fixes. People can expect straightforward conversations about patterns of thinking, behavior, and relationship habits. For those in recovery, she has provided telemental health care while clients remain sober.
To begin, she asks people to identify the practical problems they want to change and then helps choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set their own goals. It emphasizes respect for the person and works well for emotional issues such as anger, shame, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It introduces simple experiments and practice tasks to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive anger in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for tolerating distress and managing strong emotions. It offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that many people find useful when frustration or resentment builds.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try tools, and adjust methods based on what is helpful. That way sessions stay practical and focused on the client's priorities.
