About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career changes, and grief. She works with adults facing major life transitions such as divorce, new jobs, parenting challenges, pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, and loss.
She uses clear, practical methods to identify what is causing distress and to try different ways of thinking and acting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered approaches are part of her work. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing alternatives, and building coping skills that can be used day to day.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about current problems and what they want to change. Michelle helps people break large problems into manageable steps and practices new skills between sessions. That might include communication strategies, stress-management techniques, or ways to handle social anxiety.
Her background includes nearly two decades supporting people through relationship transitions, workplace stress, fertility and family concerns, and issues tied to mood and identity. She also addresses issues tied to autism, isolation, and midlife questions.
Michelle asks clients to set clear goals and measures progress against those goals. The focus is on practical tools and habits that reduce distress and make daily life more manageable. She encourages regular practice and small changes that add up over time.
How Michelle Uses CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online
Michelle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that increase stress and anxiety. CBT work online often focuses on identifying specific thoughts, testing them with experiments, and practicing new responses between sessions. It is useful for problems like social anxiety, mood difficulties, and worry.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals. That approach means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps they want to try. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit the goals and preferences presented in sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Michelle will help clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on how well they are working. This shared process guides whether to emphasize CBT exercises, communication practice, or emotion-focused conversations.
