About Michelle
Michelle Lake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, grief, and work or career stress.
She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered ways of working, existential questions, and mindfulness skills. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for patterns and helps people try small changes in thinking and behavior.
Michelle pays attention to how daily routines, sleep, and stress interact with mood and relationships. She helps people develop short strategies to manage symptoms and longer plans for gradual change. Homework and skill practice are offered when they fit each person’s goals.
Her style emphasizes straightforward feedback and collaborative problem solving. She draws on motivational interviewing ideas to help people find the reasons they want change. Therapy includes checking progress and adjusting approaches when something is not working.
Clients can expect regular discussion of coping skills such as mindfulness exercises, activity planning, and ways to shift thinking. Michelle also addresses practical barriers like sleep, anger, and compassion fatigue as part of treatment. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from doing what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and topics.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted based on what helps most during the first sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into work or family routines. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and you can work on mindfulness, behavioral experiments, and homework between meetings to keep progress moving.
