About Michelle

Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps those coping with parenting strains, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and life changes.

She takes a client-centered approach that focuses on each person’s goals. Sessions are practical and respectful. Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Her style emphasizes building autonomy. She and the client shape a plan that fits the person’s situation. Treatment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

With long experience, Michelle draws on a range of tools. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be used to manage intense emotions and improve coping. She pays attention to how daily habits affect sleep and rest.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete strategies. Michelle aims to make progress feel manageable, with steps people can use between sessions. She welcomes questions and works collaboratively toward clearer next steps.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep-related worry by shifting focus toward meaningful daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and habits and replaces them with clearer, practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, collaborative relationship and gives people space to set the pace and goals of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in their usual environment and bring real-life sleep and routine issues into sessions for direct problem solving.
