About Michele

Michele Gayle is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor with six years of clinical experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, anger, and LGBT-related issues.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard and understood. Her practice emphasizes tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Michele helps clients identify practical coping skills and clearer paths forward while honoring their unique histories and goals. She encourages taking careful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, and she positions herself as a steady, supportive partner throughout that process.

Based in Washington, Michele offers services in English and welcomes international clients. Her background in clinical practice across a range of mood, behavioral, and relational challenges informs a flexible, person-centered approach designed to meet immediate needs and build long-term resilience.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Flexibility

Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop practical skills and emotional insight. One commonly used approach focuses on structured strategies to manage anxiety and mood symptoms, teaching skills for regulation, problem solving, and clearer daily routines. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care that helps people process difficult experiences while building coping resources and safety in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Michele works with each client to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds so treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy provides practical benefits for many people, and Michele offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other obligations and allow clients to choose modalities that feel most comfortable for them. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and check-ins across formats to support steady progress and accessible, ongoing care.
