About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eleven years of experience in clinical and educational settings. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then shapes sessions to fit each person’s needs. Conversations are practical and respectful.
How Michelle works
She aims to make therapy feel approachable, not overwhelming. Michelle uses a range of evidence-based techniques and adjusts them to what works for each client. She pays attention to attachment patterns, blended family dynamics, and codependency when these issues come up.
She also addresses social anxiety, mood disorders, and self-harm with clear, steady steps. Clients can expect focused talks about coping skills, problem solving, and managing strong feelings. Michelle draws on her time in schools and clinics to offer straightforward tools parents and individuals can use day to day.
She treats people with sensitivity and compassion while keeping goals in view. Starting therapy is presented as a process - one step at a time. Michelle collaborates on a plan that fits a person’s life and pace.
She works from California as an LMFT and meets people in formats that suit modern schedules.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Michelle uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on change and coping. One common approach she uses teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, behavioral exercises, and step-by-step plans to face difficult situations. This helps when worry or panic get in the way of daily life.She also employs trauma-informed methods that move at a person’s pace and focus on safety and stabilization first. Those techniques help people reduce reactivity, build grounding skills, and work through traumatic memories in manageable pieces. When relationship and attachment issues appear, she addresses patterns and communication habits to improve connection and boundaries.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit care into a real-life schedule while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
