About Michelle

Michelle Hammock is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and related concerns. Michelle emphasizes practical strategies that help people get unstuck and manage day-to-day problems.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches. That means sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. She also draws on EMDR and mindfulness tools when trauma or strong emotional reactions are involved.

Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-focused. Michelle helps people set clear, achievable steps and checks progress each week. She lays out skills and practices people can try between sessions to build new habits and reduce distress.

She also offers support for relationship strain, parenting stress, issues tied to sexual orientation and intimacy, and a range of addictive behaviors including substance and process addictions. Clients working through grief, mood shifts, phobias, or seasonal affective symptoms can work on coping plans and behavioral strategies.

Michelle describes her work as straightforward and patient. She avoids labels and looks at what practical changes might help in daily life. People who prefer a skills-based, problem-solving style often find her approach useful.

How Michelle adapts CBT and related approaches for online work

Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills, short experiments, and homework that can be practiced between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy complements that by emphasizing clear listening and collaboration, helping the person set goals and priorities for the work.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions or impulsivity are present. DBT tools teach practical techniques for managing reactions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Michelle works with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change over time.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing travel time, or choosing a call when bandwidth is limited. Many people find that practicing CBT and DBT skills between sessions fits well with remote work, but confirm format details with scheduling before your first appointment.
