About Michelle

Michelle Frizzelle is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of experience. She works to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, and sleep problems. Michelle uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations feel clear and useful.

She often begins by listening to what matters most to each person. From there she helps set small goals and tries methods that fit daily life. That approach is helpful for depression, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.

Michelle draws on several therapy styles, including approaches that focus on values, changing unhelpful thinking, and telling the story of difficult experiences. She stays easygoing and patient while building a working relationship. Her style emphasizes understanding, steady support, and real-life solutions.

Clients benefit from her willingness to be present and to adapt to individual needs. She also brings life experience that informs practical suggestions for coping and problem solving. Michelle encourages people to take the first step toward a happier, more balanced routine.

She is licensed in California and Oregon and sees clients in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options to make sure they fit their schedule and needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It emphasizes small, values-based actions that can change routines and improve sleep and rest. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help anxiety, depression, and sleep patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard while they try new strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, habits, and what feels workable in daily life. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try tools and homework between meetings so the work carries into everyday routines.
