About Michelle
Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, grief, and coping with life changes. Michelle also supports people facing trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, and challenges related to identity and family dynamics.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Michelle draws from client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on the person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to help clients clarify goals and find motivation for change.
Michelle’s background includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree. She has supervised counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians for several years, which informs her clinical perspective. That supervision experience also keeps her practice grounded in common, real-world clinical questions.
In sessions she helps people name what’s happening, test out new ways of responding, and build practical coping tools for everyday life. For anger concerns this can mean learning how triggers build, practicing short-term strategies to de-escalate, and working on longer-term changes in thinking and behavior.
Her work includes grief and loss, trauma-related issues, postpartum challenges, and caregiver stress. Michelle aims to work collaboratively so clients leave with clearer plans, stronger coping skills, and a better sense of where to take the next step.
How her approaches translate to online work
Michelle commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and helping the person guide the pace of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs evolve.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as her biography does not list formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoiding camera time when someone prefers no video. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care and apply new skills in day-to-day situations.
