Michelle Kohut

Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or identity questions. Her work aims to create an affirming, compassionate space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.

She helps people explore issues around LGBTQ+ identity, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, career stress, and life changes. Sessions are geared toward practical steps people can use between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and empathic. She listens closely and works with clients to set realistic goals. Michelle uses straightforward tools to build self-esteem, improve communication, and manage overwhelming feelings like anger.

Michelle draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's pace. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness-based practices help people calm body and mind.

Clients who want help with relationship patterns may work on communication skills and understand attachment dynamics. For those who struggle with identity or shame, the focus is on self-acceptance and practical coping strategies. The overall aim is to increase resilience and clearer decision making in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist mirrors what matters most to the person and helps them name priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple, practical skills to test and change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide whether a more skills-based path like CBT or a supportive, discovery-focused approach like client-centered work fits best. That decision is based on the client's goals, the issues they bring, and their personal preferences, and it can shift over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and let people meet from their regular routine, which may help maintain consistency. The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions let them check in between work or family demands and practice new skills right where they live.
