About Michelle

Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, eating and parenting concerns, and supports people facing relationship and career difficulties. She also helps with trauma, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and challenges related to family and identity.

Her approach uses clear, skills-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and dialectical skills when emotion regulation or values-focused change is needed.

Michelle often focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. That includes simple behavioral experiments, tracking patterns, and short exercises to shift reactions. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is working.

Parents can expect support with adolescent behavior and family patterns. Michelle has experience helping caregivers manage stress, blended family issues, and communication problems. She also addresses eating and body-image concerns with direct behavioral strategies and attention to underlying emotions.

Sessions move at a steady pace and emphasize skills people can use right away. Goals are set collaboratively, and progress is reviewed regularly. People considering work with her are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling when they sign up.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought and behavior patterns that fuel distress. In short sessions she will work on specific thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to test new responses, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related habits.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and to teach simple acceptance and mindfulness skills. ACT focuses on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that matter, which can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting plans based on how someone responds and what fits their goals and day-to-day life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how she is currently offering sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients use online sessions to practice skills in real time and apply techniques between meetings.
