Michelle Powell, LPC

Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas to create practical, real-world plans. That means listening first, then trying straightforward strategies that fit each person's life.

Michelle aims to promote autonomy so clients can make choices that matter to them. She values mutual respect and tailors treatment plans to individual needs. Sessions often focus on building coping skills and clearer thinking about difficult situations.

She also works with concerns such as codependency, attachment issues, caregiver stress, midlife crisis, and obsessive-compulsive challenges. Michelle draws on mindfulness and acceptance techniques when those tools suit a client's goals.

People who come to her usually want usable skills and steady support. She invites new clients to consider what they want to change and to try approaches that feel manageable. Michelle looks forward to helping people move toward a more satisfying, balanced life.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for midlife questions, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and topics, which supports clearer self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as concerns change and progress is made.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try therapeutic tools such as behavioral experiments, thought records, and mindfulness practices from their everyday settings while working together with a licensed professional.
