About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, identity questions, or relationship struggles. Her work often addresses challenges tied to trauma, LGBTQ concerns, and codependency. Michelle aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace.
Michelle approaches therapy as a conversation rather than a prescription. She listens closely and helps people set practical goals. Sessions can include learning new communication skills, practicing strategies for managing anxiety, or looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. Michelle uses clear, concrete steps that people can try between sessions.
Her background blends several evidence-based approaches. She draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work focused on the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and mindfulness practices into sessions when they fit the client's goals.
Michelle has worked across a range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, grief, career transitions, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy. She is attentive to issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, and blended family dynamics. Her practice supports people exploring sexuality and kink in a nonjudgmental way.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and collaborative problem solving tend to find her style helpful. She emphasizes practical skills, clearer communication, and steady progress. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening closely and tailoring the pace to what feels right. It helps people who need time and space to explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and attachment patterns, helping people understand why they react the way they do and build stronger emotional connections.Picking the right approach is part of the work itself. Michelle will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and may combine methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. The aim is to try tools and adjust the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making scheduling more flexible around work and family demands. Many people find it simpler to continue steady progress when sessions fit more naturally into their day.
