About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who draws on nearly 20 years of clinical experience to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety.
Background and approach
She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered stance to guide clients toward clearer thinking, healthier behaviors, and more effective emotional regulation. Her work often focuses on areas such as relationships, self-esteem, career transitions, coping with life changes, grief, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Clients pursue therapy for a wide range of life events including divorce, empty nest transitions, job-related overwhelm, and loss. Michelle helps clarify the issues that bring clients to counseling and collaborates on practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns of thought and action.
Over time clients learn skills to better manage future challenges and build resilience. Therapy with Michelle emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can speak openly and set meaningful goals.
She welcomes discussions about identity and LGBT concerns and attends to family and workplace dynamics as they relate to emotional wellbeing. Michelle aims to support each person in reaching the goals they define for themselves.
CBT and Client-Centered Support Delivered Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. In practice this involves setting concrete goals, trying new coping strategies, and tracking progress between sessions to build skills that help in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens carefully, reflects concerns, and follows the client's priorities to foster insight and self-directed change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider which techniques feel most helpful and adjust the plan as work proceeds to ensure the approach remains a good match.
Online therapy with Michelle offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to engage from home or other convenient locations. These formats allow scheduling to accommodate work and family demands and make it easier to continue care during life transitions and busy periods. Licensed professionals can still provide focused skill-building and supportive guidance through these remote options.
