Michelle Voegtle, LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people feeling stuck in midlife and other major life transitions. She focuses on the present and on practical steps people can take to move forward. Conversations are direct but kind, aimed at uncovering what matters and what gets in the way.

With 25 years of experience in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions, she brings long-term experience to everyday struggles. Michelle combines coaching and counseling to help people clarify goals and start making small changes. She often uses creative approaches and an encouraging tone to keep momentum going.

Sessions tend to center on identifying barriers, learning concrete coping skills, and planning the next right step. Work may include tackling stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, or low self-esteem, and exploring life purpose or career direction. Michelle emphasizes action - not just talking - so people leave with clear tasks and ideas to try between sessions.

Her background includes counseling across recovery and end-of-life contexts and training as a yoga instructor. That mix of clinical and wellness perspectives shapes a flexible practice that blends mindfulness and pragmatic planning. The overall aim is a lived change that fits each person’s values and daily life.

People who choose Michelle can expect a collaborative, hopeful process. She helps clients see what they want next, reduce what holds them back, and build a life that feels authentic and forward-facing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Michelle often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in work with people facing life transitions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and attention, offering a nonjudgmental space where the client's goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions, then adapt methods as needed. This partnership helps make sure the techniques match a client's everyday life and priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuity of care during life changes, letting people maintain progress while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
