About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, career shifts, and life changes. Michelle also supports people facing grief, parenting strains, postpartum concerns, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
She often meets people during transitions such as divorce, an empty nest, a new job, or the death of a loved one. In sessions she helps clarify what feels most troubling and what the client wants to change. She uses straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thinking and habits that keep problems going.
Michelle draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to test ideas, try new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. The combination is aimed at practical change rather than abstract ideas.
Clients can expect a focus on real-life coping skills for future stresses. Michelle works on improving communication, managing mood and anxiety, and making decisions about work and relationships. She helps people build step-by-step strategies for everyday problems.
Her approach is collaborative and focused on goals you set together. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then a first session is scheduled to outline next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach allow time for open conversation about what matters most and for clarifying goals together.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online meetings CBT often includes setting small experiments, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing progress to adjust strategies for anxiety, mood, or workplace stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The emphasis is on practical steps agreed on by both therapist and client.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people attend from quieter surroundings. These practical benefits help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
