About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Tatum uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make concrete changes in how they think and act. She combines practical tools with clear conversation so clients can address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
Dr. Tatum is based in Nevada and brings 18 years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors.
She offers step-by-step strategies for sleep problems, anger, coping with life changes, and managing addictive urges.
How Michelle works
Sessions also address grief, self-esteem, career stress, and concerns tied to bipolar disorder and ADHD. Dr. Tatum pays attention to how background and identity shape someone’s experience.
She supports people with LGBT issues, multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps individuals navigating family challenges such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems. Practical problem solving is paired with emotional support when working through trauma, abuse, abandonment, or codependency.
She integrates coping skills for compassion fatigue, isolation, and guilt or shame. The goal is to build reliable habits that make daily life feel more manageable. New clients begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.
Dr. Tatum offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for them.

How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying small thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In practice this means setting goals, testing different behaviors, and using simple exercises between sessions to build new routines. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes.The therapist applies CBT in a collaborative way. Together the client and therapist choose which skills to try and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the work and the therapist checks in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online therapy gives flexible ways to use these methods. Video calls enable face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for focused check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, homework review, and quick coping strategies between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and practice skills in daily life.
