About Michelle
Michelle Ufford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Michelle approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She uses straightforward, practical techniques to help people make small changes that add up. Cognitive-behavioral methods are a core part of her work and she teaches tools to manage thoughts and behaviors. She also brings in mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those fit a person’s needs.
How Michelle works
Michelle describes therapy as a team effort. She works with clients to set clear, realistic goals and tracks progress together. Goals can shift as someone learns more about themselves, and the plan adjusts to stay useful.
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings. That might mean trying a new thinking habit, practicing a breathing or attention skill, or taking a step toward a relationship change. Michelle keeps language simple and gives concrete steps to try between sessions.
Her experience includes many different emotional and psychological challenges over nearly two decades of practice. She practices in Kansas and offers services in English. People who want an approach that mixes practical tools with a listening ear may find her style helpful.

Online support options
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can teach these skills through step-by-step practice, worksheets, and guided problem solving to manage anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns.Mindfulness involves brief attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity. In an online session Michelle can introduce short exercises and coach you through them, so you can use the techniques during daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as you progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you see body language and practice skills together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick feedback, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so you can choose what works best for you.
