About Michelle

Michelle Hungler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with seven years of clinical experience. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and major life changes. Michelle focuses on helping people build self-esteem, improve communication, and develop more self-compassion.

She supports clients with trauma-related and attachment concerns, and she addresses mood and anxiety challenges. Michelle also works with women on postpartum matters, body image, sexual assault recovery, and questions around life purpose. She notes experience with blended family issues and helps people untangle codependency and family-of-origin patterns.

Sessions are collaborative and person-centered. Michelle describes a straightforward style: she listens, helps identify priorities, and practices skills together in session. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, obsessive thoughts, isolation, and feelings of emptiness.

Her work often includes improving communication skills, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building small, practical habits that fit daily life. Michelle aims to help people notice shifts that reduce stress and make relationships easier to navigate.

To begin, Michelle asks people to choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.

Approaches used and online sessions

Michelle’s biography states she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two common evidence-based approaches often used for the issues she lists are cognitive-behavioral work and attachment-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral work helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce panic and obsessive thinking. Attachment-focused strategies look at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now in trust, closeness, and communication with partners or stepfamily members.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She aims to collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust methods as progress is made.

The therapist’s profile does not specify which online formats are offered. Before booking, confirm the session options available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, cut commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedule constraints exist. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which can help when a quieter setup is needed or when a person prefers a brief phone check-in rather than a full video session.
