About Michelle
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. Michelle Kotch helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family strain, and self-esteem problems. She works with individuals who want practical ways to cope and make changes in daily life.
Michelle begins by listening to the person’s story and identifying strengths already at work. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds from what is already helping. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and tools people can use between meetings.
Her approach is straightforward and skills-focused. Conversations often include identifying patterns that cause distress, trying manageable behavioral changes, and practicing new ways to handle stress or interpersonal conflict. Michelle pays attention to what is realistic for a person’s schedule and responsibilities.
She has worked in clinical settings for many years and brings that experience into brief, applicable strategies. Michelle encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she helps people measure what is improving over time.
To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Language of service is English and international clients are not accepted.

How Michelle Uses Practical Approaches in Remote Sessions
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use day to day. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - identifying routines or habits that keep problems going and trying small, testable changes to see what helps. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges.Another common approach involves grief-focused coping strategies. These sessions help people name what they’ve lost, learn ways to remember and adapt, and practice tasks that rebuild daily life after a loss. That work is concrete and paced to what each person can handle.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Michelle listens to a person’s goals, tries methods that fit their life, and adjusts the plan based on what works. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and uses her experience to recommend practical tools and steps.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. Discuss preferred session length and timing when scheduling so the plan fits daily responsibilities.
