About Michelle

Michelle Evans brings 17 years of clinical experience to her practice and is based in Vermont. She holds an MD and is licensed as an LCPC and LCMHC, credentials she uses to inform compassionate, pragmatic care.

Background and approach

Michelle works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, trauma and abuse, and a range of related life challenges. Her background also includes focus areas such as caregiver stress, communication and family of origin issues, codependency, and co-morbidity.

Her style blends evidence-based therapies with a warm, client-centered stance. Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused strategies to help clients build skills, clarify values, and improve emotional connection and coping.

Sessions are aimed at practical change as well as increased self-awareness, and she tailors methods to each person’s needs and goals. Michelle describes her therapeutic space as welcoming and strives to create a setting where people feel understood and supported.

Clients connect with her for short- and longer-term work, coaching around career and life transitions, and targeted help for eating-related concerns and compassion fatigue. She offers multiple remote session formats to fit varied schedules and lifestyles.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop strategies to act in line with those values despite difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, life changes, and persistent worry. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, helping clients build practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address eating-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle treats that decision as collaborative. She will explore a client's goals, preferences, and response to different techniques and adjust interventions over time so the work aligns with what the client finds most helpful and relevant.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain consistency when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and format to match communication comfort and therapeutic goals, supporting steady progress from a distance.
