Michelle Price

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing anger, anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting stress, relationship concerns, grief, ADHD, and work or career stress. Michelle writes plainly and works to make therapy understandable and usable for busy families.

Michelle brings 14 years of counseling experience in community mental health settings. She has worked in outpatient care, crisis services, intensive in-home programs, and therapeutic day treatment. That background means she is used to helping people with a wide range of everyday problems and complex needs.

Her main approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, shared in simple language and practical steps people can try between sessions. She also uses attachment-based ideas when family relationships matter and trauma-focused techniques when past hurts keep affecting day-to-day life. Michelle borrows skills from other methods when those skills help individual goals.

Sessions focus on clear tools for managing emotions, building coping skills, and improving relationships. She aims to make each plan fit the person sitting across from her, keeping goals concrete and doable. People who want straightforward strategies and a calm, experienced guide may find her style helpful.

Michelle’s work includes helping with anger and disruptive mood issues as well as depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and social anxiety. She offers services in English and practices in Virginia, drawing on community mental health experience to support practical, real-world change.

Approaches that guide online care and goals

Michelle commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it suits anxiety, anger, mood problems, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy helps people safely process past events that keep affecting their feelings and actions, and it aims to reduce reminders and triggers that cause upset.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative discussion guides which techniques are used and how sessions are organized so the plan fits each person’s life.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel, and check in more often during hard periods. It can also allow a quicker follow-up when new issues come up between appointments. Licensed professionals adapt materials and exercises so you can practice skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between visits.
