About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and relationships. She also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Michelle conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.

Michelle frames sessions around clear, practical steps. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotion-focused approaches when they fit the concern. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on noticing thoughts and testing different responses.

Her work often addresses relationship and intimacy challenges, communication problems, and commitment or trust issues. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, caregiver strain, body image, and parenting-related pressures. Michelle brings particular attention to matters tied to sexual identity and kink-affirming concerns when those topics come up.

In practice she mixes reflective listening with practical exercises. That can include behavior experiments, thought records, and mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and mood. She also draws on the Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship work when helpful.

Clients usually leave sessions with specific steps to try between meetings. Scheduling and cost use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include homework like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals. For relationship concerns she integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to identify patterns in emotional responses and improve connection and communication.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, then pick methods that fit the situation. That decision can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will help arrange session length and timing to match practical needs without promising a particular format.
