About Michella
Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She works primarily with adult women on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, career issues, grief, and substance abuse recovery. Her practice also addresses stress, anger, sleep trouble, self-esteem, ADHD, and questions tied to identity and discrimination.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness exercises are offered when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are sometimes brought in to look at the stories people tell about themselves and past patterns.
Michella frames counseling around unconditional positive regard and a collaborative working relationship. She aims to help clients set concrete goals and try different practical strategies between sessions. She has experience supporting people through spiritual questions and recovery from substance use when clients are sober.
Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida A & M University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. She holds LPC credentials in Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia. Sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on specific thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include brief skill practice, worksheets, and step-by-step plans to test new responses to stress, anxiety, or low mood.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflective conversation. In online meetings this looks like setting goals together, checking progress, and adjusting direction based on what the client reports. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation or distress tolerance is needed, teaching concrete coping techniques that can be practiced between appointments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then propose methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as therapy continues.
The therapist's biography mentions telemental health in the context of supporting people in recovery, but it does not list all available session formats. Confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed.
