More about Michelle
- 24 years' experience

- LPC, LPCC
As a therapist with great empathy and warmth, I specialize in guiding individuals through the complex landscape of grief in all its forms. Grief doesn't just apply to losing someone to death. Grief can be experienced in divorce and romantic breakups, loss of our pets, job loss, moving, losing friends, transformation of life stages, loss of physical abilities, and so many other situations. My goal is to support you through the myriad of emotions that grief can cause.
With a background in counseling for over 20 years, including over 5 years experience in grief therapy training and certification, I most often use Person-Centered therapy, also known as Rogerian therapy. I view the client as the expert of their own life and encourage them to find their own solutions with my guidance. I also utilize Brief Solution Focused Therapy.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathetic approach, where your feelings are validated and your story is heard. I will support you in your grief journey as you learn to walk this new and maybe unexpected path.
Am I the right therapist for you?
*I love working with human beings from all backgrounds and this includes race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disabilities. If there is a reason I do not feel I am the best fit for you I will discuss this with you before referring you out to another therapist on Betterhelp.
*I work from home so you might see or hear the occasional dog or 4 in the background.
*I like dogs a lot and like talking and hearing about them. Much of the grief therapy I have provided over the past couple of years has been with people grieving the loss of their beloved four legged family members (or any pet family member)
*I am very laid back.
*My therapy approach is very conversational.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Michelle is amazing. She makes me feel heard and she is always respectful.
I absolutely adore Michelle, she has given good insight in just the 2 visits I've had with her.
Michelle is just awesome. She's very down to earth, and a straight shooter in the best possible way. Extremely empathetic and gently made some incisive observations that stopped me in my tracks. She's also funny, and has a relaxed style that I appreciate. She is fantastic, 10/10.
She is great.... very encouraging... listens and offers tools to help yourself
From my initial interactions with Michelle I felt supported and seen. That was so important for me during a period of high stress. She accommodated my schedule, supported me in the areas I needed it, and is a great listener. Michelle gave me advice that I use daily and helps tremendously. What I enjoy most about Michelle is her genuineness, passion about her work, and her true caring. Thanks!
Michelle is great! She is a great listener, diving deep in to what may be the real reasons I am feeling a certain way. So far she has been successful in helping me acknowledge what I could not put in to my own thoughts and words.
Michelle is the real deal. She helped me through some milestones and growing pains and I couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for an honest, experienced, and reliable therapist.
She's the best! I know that she'll never make me feel badly about anything I can't control and she always genuinely listens, even when I'm being silly. She's also figured out largely when I need someone to push me and when I want to leave a topic alone. She never judges me and I really appreciate her!
Easy to talk to, professional, available for support
Michelle is the best therapist that I have encountered and always enlightens my concerns with wise comments and feedback.
Michele is the best- very validating and understanding! She’s a great therapist
I had been struggling with anxiety for a few months leading up to BetterHelp and in only 4 weeks Michelle has been able to help me not only ease the anxiety I was experiencing but also understand and overcome it in ways I haven’t been able to before. Highly recommend her.
Michelle is incredible. She grounds me while also cheering me on. She listens well and has very thoughtful responses and does a great job at matching my energy. Highly recommend.
I love Michelle! She is very considerate and listens to my needs. Her talk therapy has been extremely helpful to me in dealing with my loss and grief and moving on to a new stage in my life. I was dealing with a number of issues that caused me quite a bit of depression and anxiety and Michelle has helped tremendously! Thank you, Michelle, for always being responsive to my needs, even in between sessions. Michelle is my preferred therapist and when I am in need again, as I know this will be an ongoing process for my mind, I will look for her first.
Michelle is pure love in human form. She really makes me feel cared for and supported. She is a great listener and has helped me through some very difficult times.
Michelle Filippi-Robb is a very good listener and has a lot of great feedback. She is on your side no matter what support you need. Michelle is encouraging and I feel better each time I finish a session with her.
Michelle has been very kind and helpful, and allows me a safe space to process my thoughts. Just what I was looking for in a therapist!
Michelle is great! I came to her with a very specific issue. She listened to me and gave me the support and guidance, in a very focused way, that I needed to overcome it. She is easy to talk with and has the ability to be personal and catering while maintaining a level of professionalism. She is incredibly responsive and took my scheduling needs into consideration. She made me feel that I had a constant support system at all times.
Michelle is a wonderful listener who is very easy to talk to. She is kind, understanding, and gives practical strategies that help.
I chose Michelle because on her profile it says she specialises with adults who have severe and persistent mental health problems. I have spoken to at least 20 therapists throughout my life and only 2 of them have actually been helpful, Michelle is one of them. She listens to me and is there for me when I message her with any negative thoughts I may be having. She really seems to understand me and does not make me feel like I am a lost cause, unlike most of the other therapists I've spoken to. I'm glad that I found Michelle.
she is great! really personable.
