About Michelle
Michelle Burdick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming or stalled. Michelle speaks plainly and aims to help clients move forward with clear goals and doable strategies.

How Michelle works
Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the client and what small changes could help today. Her background includes experience in career-related work, which informs support for job search and workplace concerns. That practical perspective is used to help people sharpen resumes, build interview confidence, and clarify next steps.
Michelle helps clients break large problems into manageable tasks they can complete between sessions. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes such as fertility or cancer-related concerns. Social anxiety and phobias are included among the issues she addresses with structured approaches and practice exercises.
Michelle has three years of counseling experience. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, combining thought work, mindful practice, and coaching techniques. Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative approach to reach clearer decisions and steadier day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on testing thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness exercises that reduce stress and improve attention. Mindfulness helps people respond more calmly to strong emotions and regain steadier focus in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when video is difficult, live chat and text offer shorter check-ins or more frequent support, and all formats make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving. These options give flexibility and help people keep momentum between sessions.
