About Michelle
Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar. Michelle focuses on practical coping when life feels overwhelming or change feels unmanageable.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to build useful tools. Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer and to create step-by-step ways to cope day to day.
How Michelle works
Michelle draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches. She mixes talking, problem-solving, and skill practice so people can try new ways of responding between sessions. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.
She brings experience helping people with caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Michelle also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Michelle practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
She offers several formats to fit different schedules and needs. People who want to begin are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process to find time that works for them.

How Michelle’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs. That partnership helps decide whether more skill-building, trauma-focused work, or motivational interviewing techniques will be most helpful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location, phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, live chat works for shorter exchanges, and text-based messaging lets people write between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or other commitments.
