About Michelle
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with nine years of experience, Michelle Mielniczek helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career questions, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Michelle speaks English and works with adults in outpatient and inpatient settings, using practical conversations and structured tools to make progress on specific problems.
Michelle focuses on straightforward methods that people can use between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside person-centered techniques and mindfulness. Sessions typically include setting clear goals, identifying unhelpful thinking or patterns, and trying small changes to test what helps.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johnson and Wales University, completed in 2018. Michelle has worked across outpatient and inpatient programs over the past nine years, so she is familiar with both short-term and longer-term care settings.
In practice she emphasizes resilience and practical skill-building. Clients work on coping strategies for daily stress, ways to manage mood and anxiety, and steps to move through life transitions. Conversations are direct and focused on what the person wants to change.
Outside of work she spends time crafting, gardening, and playing with her dogs. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change when facing addictions or stuck patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress with simple steps. That method is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes for stress, work issues, or relationship patterns. The therapist works collaboratively to select which methods fit a person's priorities and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.
Confirm current session format options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and clients agree on goals, try techniques between sessions, and adjust the plan based on what works in everyday life.
