About Michelle

Michelle Gross is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with two decades of experience in counseling, coaching, and education. She draws on a combined background in counseling and business to help clients translate insight into practical strategies for everyday life.

Background and approach

Michelle emphasizes self-awareness, authentic connection, and actionable steps to support progress across concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions, relationship issues, and career challenges. Her practice blends therapeutic listening with tools tailored to each person’s needs, using approaches grounded in evidence and mindfulness.

With experience in schools, universities, corporations, and independent practice, Michelle integrates coaching skills and organizational know-how to assist clients who want clearer priorities, better task completion, and improved delegation. She frames growth as a collaborative process focused on strengths and practical coping strategies for issues ranging from sleep and eating difficulties to impulsivity and caregiver stress.

Michelle holds a master’s degree in counseling and an MBA from Wake Forest University, and she brings that combination of clinical training and business acumen into sessions to support personal and professional goals. She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

Integrating practical therapies for online care

Michelle uses a mix of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to address thinking patterns and present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and task-focused challenges. Mindfulness Therapy offers techniques to increase awareness of emotions and physical sensations, helping with stress management, impulsivity, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. She works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so the plan fits each person’s needs and progress. The intent is to combine evidence-based tools with practical coaching to support measurable steps forward.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different communication styles for skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor session formats to suit availability and comfort while focusing on consistent therapeutic work.
