About Michelle
Michelle Kyles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and life changes. Michelle also addresses self-esteem and ADHD-related challenges in her work. She conducts sessions in English and practices within Virginia.
Michelle uses straightforward, practical methods to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's concerns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of how she supports people who want change.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small experiments to test new behaviors. Michelle helps people break big problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time. Conversations are meant to be direct and focused on what a person can do between sessions.
She has worked in clinical settings for a decade and brings that practical experience into each appointment. Michelle pays attention to communication patterns, workplace stress, and cultural or discrimination-related concerns when they matter to a client's situation. She also addresses issues such as divorce, jealousy, isolation, and forgiveness.
Her work is intended for adults seeking structured support for emotional or behavioral concerns. Before scheduling, clients should confirm the current session options and how they are delivered.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. CBT focuses on practical steps - tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked. Client-Centered Therapy provides a structure where the session stays focused on the client's priorities and what matters most to them.Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and supports real-world planning. Together, these approaches make conversations concrete and action oriented rather than abstract. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work breaks, shorter travel times, or days with childcare demands. Other practical benefits include being able to do a focused check-in without camera use or choosing a quieter setting when needed. The therapist will discuss what works best and adapt sessions to match a client's schedule and goals.
