About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is a Nevada licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship and identity concerns. Michelle works with clients who are exploring questions about self-esteem, intimacy, parenting, career changes, and grief.

She frames sessions around clear goals and practical skills. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about emotions and patterns that get in the way. Michelle uses techniques drawn from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide those conversations.

Sessions often include looking at how past experiences shape current relationships and responses. Michelle helps people notice what they feel, name it, and try small changes to see what shifts. She also addresses areas like attachment issues, communication problems, body image, and coping with life changes.

Her work includes attention to LGBTQ concerns, abandonment issues, caregiving stress, codependency, and the effects of trauma and shame. Michelle also supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue by focusing on manageable steps and routine adjustments.

Michelle describes her role as collaborative and practical. She invites clients to set clear, achievable aims and checks progress over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial session and discuss goals with her.

How Michelle works with EFT and online sessions

Michelle often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients identify and name painful emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. EFT is commonly used to address attachment-related feelings and recurring interaction cycles that leave people feeling stuck.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s concerns to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to map thoughts and behaviors and to practice small, concrete changes that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Michelle will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest an approach or a combination of methods. That plan can change over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, and she checks in about fit as part of sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with Michelle during the matching step about what will work best for timing, length, and whether video or audio is better for your needs.
