About Michelle

Michelle Kyles is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction challenges, relationship struggles, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental approach that invites clients to express difficult thoughts and feelings and to explore practical steps toward a more satisfying life. With a decade of experience, Michelle centers the client’s perspective when forming goals and strategies.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and respect, guiding clients through life transitions, communication breakdowns, trauma-related concerns, and issues such as low self-esteem, workplace stress, and social anxiety. Michelle draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to build coping skills and identify actionable changes.

She aims to create a therapeutic space where courage to change is met with steady professional support and clear, attainable steps forward.

Using Focused Therapies in Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client’s perspective, creating space for people to explore feelings and values while guiding their own growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal motivations and build commitment to change, which can be useful when addressing addictions or ambivalence about life transitions.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to review goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, then tailor techniques accordingly. Over time, methods may be combined or adapted as needs shift so that the plan reflects the client’s progress and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured CBT exercises, supportive client-centered conversations, and motivational interviewing techniques in ways that align with a client’s routine and needs.
