About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing from Vermont with 17 years of experience.

Michelle uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose values-based actions.

Her background includes long experience supporting people with eating disorders, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. She has also worked with parents on adolescent behavior and parenting challenges. Michelle combines problem-solving work with skills practice and straightforward reflection.
Sessions tend to focus on specific problems and real-life coping strategies. People can expect work on communication, managing worry, handling loyalty conflicts in blended households, and strategies for daily life. The tone is practical and conversational, with room to try new ways of responding.
She lists additional focus areas including abandonment, family of origin issues, co-dependency, divorce and separation, body image, and dissociation. Michelle offers support around intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, and eating and food-related concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions aligned with values. It is useful for anxiety, life changes and relationship decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce worry and change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problem habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may shift as practical skills are practiced between sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where problems arise, for example trying a new conversation or a mindfulness exercise at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and DBT skills practice for remote sessions so people keep working on goals between meetings.
