About Michelle

Michelle Hammock is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska with six years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, OCD, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and relationship challenges, and mood disorders.

Background and approach

Her work also extends to several focused areas such as substance-related issues, process addictions, phobias, personality-related concerns, hoarding, and seasonal affective disorder. Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and respectful, rooted in client-centered values that emphasize sensitivity and nonjudgment.

She draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, and mindfulness to tailor care to each person’s needs. Sessions are intended to help individuals regain a sense of agency and clarity while developing practical coping skills for everyday life.

Michelle approaches change as a collaborative process and aims to empower clients who are ready to take that step. She accepts international clients and offers multiple formats for remote work to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Michelle frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship challenges. When trauma is part of the picture, EMDR can be included to work through traumatic memories with structured processing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms, then adjusts methods over time so care stays aligned with evolving needs. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies feel most useful and realistic for everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care despite geographic distance. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, skill-building, and crisis planning while adapting session length and frequency to what works best for the client.
