About Michelle
Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Michelle speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.
Michelle draws largely from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behavior and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques when past wounds are getting in the way of daily life. Michelle adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than sticking to one single plan. Her background includes more than 14 years working across community mental health settings.
She has held roles overseeing outpatient programs, crisis services, intensive in-home supports, and therapeutic day treatment. That experience informs a practical style focused on skills people can use between sessions. In sessions she tends to be direct and supportive, helping people set clear goals and practice small changes.
Work might include mood and behavior tracking, skill-building exercises, and talking through relationship patterns. Parents often appreciate concrete steps they can try at home. Michelle offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions.
She works with English-speaking clients in Virginia and uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time.
How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Michelle blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based ideas to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to address how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior cycles and practicing alternative responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect trust, closeness, and emotional reactions, which can help with intimacy, parenting, and family conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they test methods, adjust pacing, and choose skills or themes that fit the client's life and needs rather than forcing one method on everyone.
Online sessions make that collaborative work more flexible. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing helps someone sort thoughts. These options let therapy fit around work, school, caregiving, or daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
