About Michelle
Michelle Leroy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, attention and focus concerns, and difficulties with addictions. Michelle emphasizes strengths and small steps that add up over time.
Her approach centers on partnering with each person to build clearer goals. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them name what matters most.
How Michelle works
Sessions tend to focus on everyday strategies - improving sleep and routines, managing worry, and breaking down big problems into doable actions. Michelle also works on issues that affect relationships and self-image. This includes struggles with self-esteem, body image, codependency, and problems that come from one’s family of origin.
She addresses harder situations such as abandonment, guilt and shame, and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction through step-by-step planning and reflection. She has experience with neurodiversity and related concerns, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with people who face communication and attachment challenges. Michelle aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented while still giving space to process difficult feelings.
Therapy can take different forms depending on need. Michelle offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. She helps people move toward better daily functioning and greater confidence one step at a time.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Michelle uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and depression, teaching simple routines, coping strategies for worry, and small behavior changes that improve mood and energy. Another approach targets attention and focus issues with structure and planning tools that support concentration and memory in daily life.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans over time. This collaborative process helps identify what feels useful and what needs changing as progress happens.
Online therapy gives practical benefits for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping continuity of care.
