About Michelle
Michelle Burdick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside existential and mindfulness perspectives to help clients navigate stressful transitions. Michelle brings three years of counseling experience and a background in human resources that informs her practical approach to career-related concerns.
Background and approach
She supports people working through anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem challenges while helping clarify life purpose and manage social anxiety and phobia. Her practice emphasizes goal-oriented strategies and evidence-informed tools to address stress, coping with life changes, and issues related to fertility and cancer.
Michelle combines solution-focused planning with motivational interviewing to help clients identify values, set achievable steps, and reduce patterns that interfere with daily functioning. She works in English and accepts international clients, offering flexibility across several remote formats.
Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at building skills for long-term resilience and clearer decision making. Michelle also draws on her human resources experience to assist with career exploration, job search skills, and professional confidence, blending practical career guidance with therapeutic support to foster more rewarding outcomes.
Approaches for change delivered online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop skills to change behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can improve emotional regulation and reduce reactivity during life transitions. Existential Therapy explores values, meaning, and life purpose to support people facing big decisions or questions about what matters most.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust methods over time so the work aligns with personal preferences and practical needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access therapy from Michigan or internationally, accommodate busy routines, and let clients continue therapeutic progress even when life circumstances change.
