Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She draws on an integrative, client-centered approach to help adults manage hard moments like depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel like a practical conversation about real life.

Michella has five years of clinical experience working with adult women facing life challenges.

Her background also includes attention to multicultural issues, prejudice and discrimination, and veteran and armed forces issues.

In sessions she emphasizes unconditional positive regard and respectful listening. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help clients name patterns, try new behaviors, and build self-compassion. She also uses Mindfulness and Narrative-based ideas when they fit the person’s goals.

For people in recovery from substance use she has experience offering telemental health support while clients remain sober. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Michella commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping the person lead the conversation, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. These approaches are aimed at teaching concrete skills - for example breathing and grounding practices, cognitive reframes, and behavior experiments - that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. For people in recovery who are sober, telemental health has been used in the past; confirm whether that option is available when you schedule.
