About Michelle

Michelle Perry is a licensed mental health counselor who provides care for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues related to self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses aging and geriatric matters, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, codependency, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and mood disorders. Michelle combines clinical training with hands-on experience to help clients navigate complex life transitions and emotional pain.

Her counseling style is collaborative and person-centered, emphasizing practical strategies and evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, EMDR for trauma processing, dialectical skills, and narrative approaches. Michelle draws on three years of professional experience and holds licenses as an LMHC and LIMHP, which inform a grounded, empathetic approach that meets people where they are.

She aims to tailor goals and interventions to each person’s needs while offering a warm, approachable presence. Based in Nebraska, Michelle conducts sessions in English and offers multiple online formats to fit varied schedules.

Clients seeking a goal-oriented, compassionate counselor who integrates attachment perspectives and trauma-informed care may find her approach suited to addressing both immediate symptoms and longer-term healing.

Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help

Michelle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, often using practical homework and skill practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence emotions and interpersonal dynamics, which can be useful for addressing relationship difficulties, caregiver stress, and patterns like codependency.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or blend methods that best fit the situation, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and can support steady progress by enabling more consistent contact and skill practice between sessions.
