About Michelle

Michelle Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Her long career includes work across a broad range of issues from self-esteem and coping with life changes to anger and compassion fatigue, and she brings that breadth to each individual she meets. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and other evidence-informed methods, shaping treatment around each person rather than a single template.

Michelle emphasizes mutual respect and supports clients in building autonomy and practical skills that fit their everyday lives. She tailors plans to address presenting problems and long-term goals, whether someone is managing mood symptoms, grief, family dynamics, or difficulties with focus and organization.

Michelle offers therapy in English and practices from Georgia. She invites prospective clients to explore whether her collaborative, respectful style and pragmatic focus on functioning and well-being align with their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, attention concerns, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Michelle collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, making adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or work. These formats support ongoing skill-building, regular check-ins, and practical problem solving without requiring a commute, which can make consistent care easier to maintain.
