About Michele
LPC Michele Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 29 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also works with issues related to veterans and armed forces, and sexual assault and abuse. Michele uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and trauma-focused work.
Michele helps people notice what keeps their problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. Sessions often include simple, step-by-step tools for managing strong emotions and reducing anxiety. She draws on behavioral and skills-based methods to build short-term coping strategies and stronger daily routines.
For people with traumatic memories, Michele uses trauma-focused techniques and EMDR to reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. When anger or relationship strain shows up, she uses DBT-informed skills to improve distress tolerance and emotional regulation. These approaches are applied in clear, structured sessions without clinical jargon.
Michele aims to help clients connect their goals with actions. She works with each person to set workable steps they can use between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change when needed.
Sessions are delivered in English. Michele accepts international clients. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and any session format details.

How Michele’s Approaches Translate to Remote Sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. In practice this means tracking situations, testing ideas, and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and lift mood. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance through coached practice and stepwise skill building.EMDR and trauma-focused therapy work with memories and the body’s reactions to past events. EMDR uses a structured protocol to help lessen the emotional intensity of traumatic memories, while trauma-focused therapy helps people process those experiences and build stability afterward. Both approaches are chosen based on the person’s history and current needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make regular meetings simpler to maintain.
