About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, sleep problems, and issues like ADHD and self-esteem.
She uses a client-centered style that keeps the person's goals first. Michelle combines that with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on dialectical skills and mindfulness to manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Michelle talks through specific problems such as family conflict, caregiver stress, codependency, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with midlife questions, isolation, infidelity, and obsessions or compulsions.
Her approach emphasizes respect and helping people build autonomy. Treatment plans are individualized so workable strategies fit a person's life and responsibilities. Clients learn skills for handling anger, improving communication, and coping with grief or chronic stress.
Michelle has long experience with both clinical and everyday concerns, including aging and veteran-related issues. She aims to help people make steady, realistic changes rather than promising quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work might progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values while accepting uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and sensations with less reactivity and can help when anger or anxiety feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, assessing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments. Some prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, and others use video when they want face-to-face interaction. The focus is on practical ways to add therapeutic work into daily life rather than promising specific formats.
