Michelle is amazing! She helped me navigate my emotions and anxiety (I have PTSD) during my divorce after a 16+ year marriage and losing my grandmother to cancer. She listens, gives me positive feedback, and helps me look at things from a different perspective. I've had some therapists that were more about filling out questionnaires and sending me with "homework" without even diving into anything in depth. Michelle was the first therapist who I felt like I was more important than the check list.

I started my journey on BetterHelp with Michelle during my pregnancy. I started with Michelle not thinking much about it. I knew therapy would be good for me as I was going through some turbulence and changes in my life. Honestly, after spending months working with Michelle I have realized how far I have grown. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist and find that she listens to my issues with compassion and empathy. I look back at the tracks I’ve made in my growth and I can honestly smile and be so proud of where I am today. I look forward to working more with Michelle and really being the best version of myself and a new mom.
More about Michelle
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am an LPC practicing in Oklahoma for the past five years with experience working with and helping people who have come to me from all walks of life with a variety of concerns including symptoms of depression, anxiety and feelings of low self-worth and loneliness. Many of my clients face issues in their relationships, parenting concerns and some who have experienced past abuse and are now ready to make changes in their lives to feel better and move forward.
My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I treat everyone I meet with respect, compassion and with a desire to support and empower those who I am called on to help. I am comfortable working with and helping people from all walks of life and from every religion, non-religion, race and socio-economic background. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!

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 makes my therapy sessions comfortable, and safe to talk about all my concerns and needs. Her calm manner, and listening skills allow me to feel heard. Thank you
Michelle is so nice and supportive and SO easy to talk to. I was nervous starting therapy, but she made it easy.
Shes the best and has helped me in so many ways
Michelle is a wonderful listener, very helpful and has a great attitude! She has helped me navigate through one of the most difficult times of my life. I’m so thankful for her. ❤️
Very knowledgeable and friendly and understanding
I really like Michelle, she’s helping me a lot. I love how I can talk to her like my friend.
I’m very grateful I have Michelle to help me through issues that arise and help me with tools to overcome my anxiety.
Michelle is incredibly empathetic and respectful. She is actively engaged in our conversations, making me feel as if she was sitting next to me. She checks up on me by text every couple of days and motivates me to keep moving forward, making some needed changes. I had been reluctant to go to therapy because I thought it was useless and silly, but Michelle changed my mindset after just 10 minutes of our introductory session. The way she genuinely cared about my situation and how she shone a light on my mistakes and made me realize what I had to do was incredible. She truly has a gift. If you're looking for a therapist who will listen to you and help you work through things while making you feel comfortable, almost as if you were old friends of many years, then Michelle is the one for you.
