Michelle Uribe

Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma, grief, depression, and changes like moving through ADHD or blended family challenges. Michelle writes plainly and aims to make the first step easier for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person’s needs and goals. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, and plans are adjusted as progress is made. Michelle combines practical strategies with attentive listening to help people manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

Her background includes work in both educational and clinical settings, which shaped how she supports learning and healing. She has 11 years of professional experience and holds a California LMFT credential. Michelle adapts her style depending on the problem - from coping techniques for anxiety to communication tools for relationships.

Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings. That can include behavior-based ideas, ways to notice patterns, and experiments to change interactions at home. She speaks in straightforward terms and focuses on what will help in daily life.

Michelle aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages people to be honest about goals and challenges so together they can build a plan that fits their situation and moves them toward better functioning.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Michelle describes her methods as client-centered and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on learning practical coping tools to reduce stress and manage anger; it teaches skills people can use day to day to interrupt reactive patterns. Another approach targets relationship patterns and attachment issues by helping clients notice how they communicate and try new ways of responding to others to improve connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will pick methods that feel like a good fit. The plan can change as needs or circumstances change so therapy stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Michelle's profile does not list specific session formats here, so check what is offered when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy feels more manageable during a busy week.
