About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around identity and relationships. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical change and emotional relief.
Michelle creates a calm, affirming space where people can talk honestly about what feels hard. She pays attention to identity concerns, including LGBT issues, and to how personal history affects current choices.
How Michelle works
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps that fit everyday life. She uses straightforward tools to address trauma, compulsive behaviors, and low self-esteem. That can mean learning new ways to cope with strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or practicing communication skills.
Michelle also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, grief, and major life transitions. Therapy integrates several approaches to match each person’s needs. Work may include mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, cognitive techniques to shift thinking, and emotionally focused methods to improve connection in relationships.
The Gottman Method can be used for relationship skill-building when that is relevant. Michelle is comfortable talking about intimacy, kink and alternative sexual culture, body image, and issues tied to aging or blended family dynamics. Sessions are offered in English and are available through multiple online formats to fit busy schedules.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel understood while they explore identity, self-esteem, and life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is practical and skill-based, useful for stress, panic, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust over time. Clients collaborate on which techniques feel most helpful, combining emotion-focused work, cognitive tools, or mindfulness as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for ongoing support, brief updates, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
