About Michelle
Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and challenges like ADHD and sleep problems. Michelle focuses on helping people gain practical skills they can use day to day.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through life changes, caregiver strain, and issues tied to aging and attachment. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
How Michelle works
Veterans and those coping with obsessive or compulsive thinking are within her areas of focus. Michelle’s approach is grounded in client-centered care and evidence-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to build coping skills.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances rather than following a fixed script. In practical terms she helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills for emotion regulation and problem solving. She emphasizes mutual respect and aims to promote autonomy so clients feel more confident making choices.
People who want straightforward, skills-based work and a collaborative partnership may find her style a good fit. Michelle individualizes treatment plans and focuses on small, manageable steps toward a more satisfying daily life.

Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then choose actions that match their values; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternatives to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches straightforward attention and awareness exercises that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust techniques based on what fits best. This means sessions can shift between learning new skills, practicing them, and reviewing what helps most.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions, send short updates, or use messaging for quick skill practice. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
