About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, attention differences, low self-esteem, anger, mood concerns, and codependency. Michelle speaks English and practices in California.
She works from a client-centered approach that keeps each conversation focused on the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Michelle adapts strategies to fit what a person is ready to try, rather than using a single method for everyone.
Her background includes work in educational settings and clinical environments, giving her a range of experience with everyday life stresses and clinical concerns. Over 11 years she has worked with people navigating life transitions, blended family issues, attachment questions, and social anxiety. That variety informs how she shapes treatment plans.
Michelle aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to talk through hard things. She will tailor talk and activities to meet each person’s goals. Finding a better day-to-day rhythm is often the first step she focuses on.
For someone ready to begin, Michelle asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability. Her approach emphasizes steady progress through practical steps, not quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a client-centered attitude to guide sessions. One common approach she uses is collaborative problem-solving, which focuses on identifying immediate stressors and building practical coping skills to handle them. This method can help with anxiety, daily stress, and parenting challenges.Another frequently used approach emphasizes processing trauma through paced conversation and grounding exercises. That work aims to help people gain more control over intense emotions and reduce the ways past events disrupt day-to-day life. Both approaches are practical and paced to match what a person can handle in session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help assess needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative process can include checking in on what helps and changing direction if needed.
