More about Michella

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Alabama, Virginia, and Georgia. I have over five years of experience working with adult women who struggle with challenges in life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced spiritual growth and challenges. For clients who have substance abuse issues, I work with clients via telemental health who are presently in recovery and are sober.

One of my core values is unconditional positive regard. "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care." Teddy Roosevelt

My counseling approach is integrative: I use Client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions. These approaches will help clients to navigate through their challenges. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University and my Master's Degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Michella Rahming is a very insightful counselor. Initially , I was receiving counseling to manage the loss of a friend due to covid . In the midst of my sessions , I had a mentor and teacher to expire as well . I was an emotional mess. Michella pivoted in the moment of the immedate loss and identified tools I needed . Her sessions helped me to sit with the grief and learn from it. I have had a tendency to not acknowledge grief/ loss fully. And it subsequently affected my physical health later.I appreciated the worksheets Michella gave for reflection. As well as, referrals to group seminars on the better help site and support groups in the community . I gained perspective, strategy and emotional support when I needed it most. Thanks Michella and Betterhelp.com
