About Michelle
Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical for parents and adults feeling overwhelmed by daily life.
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Then she helps identify patterns that keep problems going and finds small changes that make life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world solutions rather than jargon. Michelle uses a mix of proven techniques, including cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness, to support mood, sleep, and coping skills. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them.
The goal is better day-to-day functioning, not perfection. Common concerns she addresses include eating and body-image issues, substance use, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, and the emotional impact of life changes. She pays attention to how guilt, shame, and isolation affect recovery and offers practical tools to shift those patterns.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She helps people set doable goals, practice new habits, and track progress. Parents who feel worn out or anyone coping with mood swings, panic, or addictive behaviors will find clear, concrete guidance.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine. Michelle works by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michelle blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies for mood, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works together with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. That collaboration can include trying different techniques to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to keep therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, homework review, or shorter coaching-style support. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
