About Michella
Michella Rahming is an LPC who focuses on practical, compassionate support for people facing stressful life moments. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and aims to create a space where clients feel heard. Michella often works with concerns that affect daily functioning, including sleep struggles, anxiety, depression, and substance use recovery.
Her outlook blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Narrative and mindfulness strategies are also part of her approach when they fit a person's needs.
Michella has five years of counseling experience and holds a Master of Counseling degree from Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia. She is licensed as an LPC in Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia. Her background includes supporting adults through grief, trauma, addiction recovery, and career stress.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. That may look like identifying patterns that disrupt sleep, testing small changes to routines, or practicing grounding and breathing skills. She also supports people working through shame, prejudice-related stress, and relationship conflicts.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with concrete strategies. Michella encourages people to bring their goals and concerns, and then she works alongside them to find what helps in everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Michella often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that interfere with sleep, mood, or daily functioning. CBT can involve tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new routines that support better rest.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT exercises can help when anxiety, anger, or intense emotions disrupt sleep and relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they adjust methods so interventions fit the client’s life and needs rather than forcing a single model.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a work break or between obligations. They can also allow therapists to guide practical changes to bedtime routines, breathing and relaxation exercises, and daytime habits that affect rest.
