About Michelle

Michelle Hungler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Michelle also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, blended family challenges, and fertility-related stress.

Her sessions emphasize practical skills for clearer communication and steadier mood regulation. She guides people in building self-esteem and learning coping strategies for panic, obsessive thoughts, or persistent worry. Michelle uses a collaborative, person-centered style that invites clients to set goals and try concrete steps between sessions.

She has particular experience supporting women through postpartum concerns, sexual assault recovery, and questions about life purpose. She also works with young adults and individuals dealing with family-of-origin wounds and blended family dynamics. These areas often involve sorting patterns that repeat across relationships and daily life.

In conversation she tends to be direct and focused on what will change day to day. Sessions often include practice in communication, emotion regulation, and decision-making. Michelle encourages small experiments people can try between meetings to test new ways of relating and coping.

If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her seven years of clinical work in Kentucky.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Michelle's biography references evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and anxiety management, teaching tools to calm intense reactions and reduce panic or obsessive thinking. Another approach involves working with attachment patterns and family-of-origin dynamics to identify repeated relationship habits and try new ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means testing techniques in session and adjusting based on what helps most in daily life.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow check-ins without travel, and support shorter or more focused conversations when needed. Michelle aims to help people translate what they learn in sessions into everyday routines and decisions.
