About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and identity questions. Her practice emphasizes respectful, supportive care for those sorting out relationships and life changes.

She focuses on practical help in the room. Michelle listens for what matters most and helps people set clear steps they can try between sessions. Conversations often cover communication, boundaries, shame, and the day-to-day ways people cope when they feel overwhelmed.

Her background includes work with trauma, grief, addictions, and concerns tied to sexual identity. Michelle also supports people with caregiving strain, aging and geriatric issues, and ADHD-related challenges. She brings a calm, steady style when clients are navigating big transitions or recurring patterns.

Sessions combine talk with hands-on tools. Michelle draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and emotionally focused methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses relationship-focused techniques for those working on connection and communication.

People who get the most from her style usually want a practical plan and a partner in figuring things out. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience and helps people feel heard as they figure out goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will help clients compare methods, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in the contexts where they live and work, then bring observations back to sessions for review and adjustment.
