About Michelle

Dr. Michelle Tatum brings an 18-year clinical background to her work, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary framework to help clients address mood, stress, and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

She frames interventions around practical skill building and evidence-informed techniques that target anxiety, depression, and symptoms commonly associated with ADHD, while respecting each person’s unique circumstances. Dr.

Tatum adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every encounter. Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, grief, addictions, sleep struggles, self-esteem, career issues, and other challenges that affect daily functioning.

Licensed in Nevada and carrying LCPC and LPCC credentials, she draws on nearly two decades of experience to support clients seeking clearer strategies and steadier routines. Dr.

Tatum encourages taking the first step toward care and works collaboratively to tailor goals and interventions to each person’s priorities.

Bringing CBT to Online Care

Dr. Tatum uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, skill building, and goal-oriented strategies that can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, sleep problems, and stress management.

When appropriate, she emphasizes structured approaches that translate well to remote work, such as establishing routines, setting small achievable goals, and practicing new coping skills between sessions. The process of finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and make adjustments together until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice therapeutic skills in real-world settings while staying connected with a licensed professional.
