About Michelle
Michelle Burdick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with three years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, grief, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Michelle also works with people facing cancer or fertility issues and those dealing with social anxiety and phobia.
Michelle draws on a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She applies Solution-Focused methods to set clear, short-term goals and mark small steps forward. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Her background includes substantial human resources experience before counseling work. That HR experience informs how she talks about job searches, interviewing, resumes, and workplace confidence. She can help people break down career moves into concrete tasks and practice how to present themselves to employers.
Sessions tend to be plain and goal-oriented. Michelle helps people name what’s bothering them, try specific strategies, and check whether those strategies actually change daily life. She focuses on what can be done now to reduce reactivity, manage frustration, or rebuild confidence.
People who want practical steps for anger, career change, or life transitions will find sessions that emphasize straightforward tools and steady follow-through. To start, clients use an online matching process and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT involves identifying thoughts that drive strong emotions and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps so progress is visible quickly.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist and client compare methods, try techniques, and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs and goals. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize thought work, goal-setting, or motivational strategies.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, medical appointments, or caregiving. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let someone skip travel time while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
