About Michelle
Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and questions about identity and purpose.
Her style is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people clarify what feels most urgent. Together they identify thoughts and behaviors to adjust, and learn skills to handle strong emotions and daily pressures.
Background and approach
Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of responding. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, social anxiety, postpartum challenges, and burnout such as compassion fatigue.
She has helped people through divorce and separation, family of origin issues, fertility and pregnancy challenges, and periods of isolation or midlife questioning. She also supports those navigating workplace problems and career transitions while dealing with anxiety or depression. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat, or messaging.
Michelle aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns and build tools that carry beyond therapy.
Therapy approaches that work well online
Michelle combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so people can talk honestly about what matters. CBT helps identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and teaches clear strategies to change reactions and behaviors.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That discussion guides whether sessions lean more toward supportive listening, skill-building with CBT, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing helps express thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days, manage appointments across locations in Michigan, and keep continuity during life transitions.
