About Michelle
Michelle Kotch is an LPC with 25 years of professional experience working in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and loss, address parenting concerns, and cope with depression.
Background and approach
Michelle emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own life and seeks to build on existing strengths to meet challenges more effectively. Clients can expect an encouraging, respectful approach that values their perspective and priorities.
Michelle acknowledges that beginning therapy often requires courage, and she aims to make that first step feel supported. Her practice also addresses ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, and self-esteem, tailoring support to the concerns brought by each individual as they work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the problems someone brings to therapy. One common approach involves skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges; these techniques focus on building routines, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening organization and focus. Another frequently used method emphasizes grief and mood-focused interventions that help people process loss and reduce symptoms of depression through structured reflection and behavioral changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to explore how specific techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made to find the most helpful combination of strategies.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to access a licensed professional from New Jersey without needing to travel, and they support continuity of care by allowing sessions and check-ins to happen in ways that match a client's life.
