About Michelle

Michelle Evans is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, anger, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each client's needs, combining practical skills with empathic listening to help clients manage impulsivity, communication struggles, codependency, and related concerns such as attachment or control issues. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes what works best for the individual.

Michelle integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to address both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns. She has worked in varied settings including foster care, residential programs, independent living homes, and substance use treatment, bringing that breadth of experience into her online practice.

Michelle practices in Missouri and offers therapy in English. Her approach balances structured interventions with warm support so clients can develop practical tools, explore underlying dynamics, and move toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Michelle frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve everyday functioning. DBT combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant to the client's life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and access support from where they are. These formats can make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
