About Michelle

Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on a broad base of therapeutic methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and substance concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Michelle emphasizes a collaborative process that begins with identifying the most pressing difficulties and then building practical strategies to address them. Her work blends evidence-based techniques with attention to values, self-worth, and everyday functioning.

Clients can expect a focus on clearer communication, healthier coping skills, and improved emotional regulation using approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and acceptance-oriented work. Michelle frames therapy as a joint effort, guiding each person to find sustainable ways to manage life transitions, mood symptoms, and struggles with identity or body image.

She welcomes the courage it takes to start therapy and aims to support meaningful, ongoing change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for those coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and challenges like ADHD that affect daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills for mood and behavior change; it is often helpful for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across concerns such as stress, eating issues, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from where clients are located in Louisiana. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for different levels of interaction, and can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
