About Michelle
Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, eating and addictive behaviors, and sleep-related concerns. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people find practical ways to handle what feels overwhelming.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions look at the specific problems a person brings and build step-by-step strategies to address them. She uses methods that include mindfulness and skills-based work to manage strong emotions and upsetting thoughts.
Michelle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take meaningful action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies are used when skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance are helpful.
Many people come to her for help with parenting stress, body image struggles, grief around medical issues like cancer, and life changes such as divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with bipolar mood swings, panic attacks, ADHD, and loneliness by offering concrete coping tools and communication strategies.
Her sessions aim to be practical and steady. Michelle partners with clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track small changes over time. If you want clear steps and a calm, empathetic listener, she can help you sort the next move.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that reflect those values, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with panic, depression, and sleep routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overthinking and ease stress in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps in practice.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make continuity easier during periods of change, so people can keep working on sleep routines, coping skills, and communication strategies without rearranging their whole schedule.
