About Michelle

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

She blends a practical cognitive behavioral approach with strategies drawn from attachment-focused and trauma-informed models, tailoring interventions to issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, addiction, parenting and family conflict. Her background includes leadership roles in community mental health settings and experience across outpatient, crisis, intensive in-home, and therapeutic day treatment services.

Rooted in a collaborative and client-focused stance, Michelle often uses CBT techniques for their clear structure and skill-based focus, while integrating attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused methods when they serve a client’s goals. She has training in Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and adolescent-focused interventions, and has worked across diverse populations within community mental health.

Michelle frames therapy as a process of learning practical skills, exploring relational patterns, and addressing emotional wounds with steady clinical support.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Practical Skills

Michelle commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through concrete skills and behavioral experiments, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to help improve closeness, trust, and emotional regulation within family and interpersonal contexts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to weigh goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns, adapting CBT techniques or attachment-focused interventions as needed so the plan feels practical and meaningful for the client’s situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue care from different locations, while allowing the therapist to deliver skill-building exercises, processing work, and real-time coaching in ways that match the client’s needs.
