About Michelle
Michelle Smith is an LCMHC and LMHC practicing in Oklahoma with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and several other areas clients bring to therapy.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Michelle helps clients develop skills for managing emotions, sleep, eating concerns, and daily routines.
Her background includes work across a range of clinical settings over the past decade. That experience informs how she combines methods like ACT, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and DBT skills. She aims to match tools to a person's goals rather than rely on a single technique.
Michelle often helps people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy questions, ADHD, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and stress from caregiving or medical issues. She also supports people with identity and family-related concerns, including LGBT issues and adoption or foster care backgrounds.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps - identifying patterns, practicing new responses, and tracking what works. She invites clients to set clear, measurable goals and to try short exercises between meetings. For international clients and English speakers she offers services, and cost varies with location using a cancellable subscription model.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize and shift those patterns to improve communication and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will review goals and preferences with each person and recommend methods that fit their needs. She often combines techniques so practical skills, values work, and relational understanding all inform the plan.
