About Michelle

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She has 14 years of experience in community mental health settings. Michelle supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and mood or bipolar-related struggles.

Michelle uses a straightforward, practical style in sessions. She centers the conversation on each person’s needs and listens carefully before suggesting changes. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and try new behaviors that feel more helpful.

Her background includes roles managing outpatient, crisis, intensive in-home, and therapeutic day treatment services. That work exposed her to many different situations and life stages, and she brings those varied experiences to session planning and problem solving.

Michelle also incorporates attachment-based ideas when relationships and family patterns are central to the issue. She uses trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to affect daily life, and she borrows DBT skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed.

Sessions are guided by what each person needs in the moment and over time. Michelle aims to make therapy understandable and practical so people can try tools between sessions and notice small changes. She believes reaching out is a strong first step and supports people as they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and letting the person set the pace. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for stress, mood concerns, and ADHD-related coping. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationships shape current connections and can help when family patterns, intimacy, or caregiver stress are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT skills practice, attachment work, or a mix of methods based on the issues presented.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer sessions that focus on skill practice and homework, which translate well to remote meetings. The therapist will discuss the practical setup and how to structure sessions so they fit your routine.
