About Michelle
Michelle Gross is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She draws on two decades of counseling, coaching, and education to help people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, ADHD, grief, depression, and life changes. Michelle aims to turn insight into practical steps people can use day to day.
She uses straightforward, individualized work rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building routines, and practicing strategies that fit the client’s life. Michelle blends coaching and therapy tools to help people manage tasks, mood, and the demands of work and family.
Her background includes work in schools, universities, corporations, and private practice. That variety informs a flexible approach to problems like career strain, impulsivity, addictions, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, and complex mood concerns.
Michelle holds a Master’s in Counseling and an MBA from Wake Forest University and has about 20 years of experience. As an LCMHC she brings clinical knowledge alongside practical skills in project and time management to help clients meet goals. She often helps people develop clear plans, improve communication, and create better routines.
In sessions she listens for what matters most, then outlines simple steps a person can try between meetings. Work might include goal-setting, behavior experiments, mindfulness practices, or communication skills. She encourages collaboration so clients shape the pace and focus of their work.
How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s needs and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people decide what matters to them and what to change. This approach is useful when someone needs steady support and a listening space.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Work often includes setting small experiments, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Michelle treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try practical strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and therapist collaborate to choose which tools to use and when to change direction.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow follow-up check-ins without needing to travel. It can also let someone try short, focused meetings for skills practice or longer sessions for deeper work depending on what is needed.
