About Michelle
Michelle Evans offers straightforward, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, parenting strain, relationship problems, and life transitions. She is Michelle Evans, MD, LCPC, LCMHC, and she focuses on clear, usable steps you can try between sessions. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at parents and busy adults who need help that fits into real life.
She centers sessions on the issues you bring. Common topics include anxiety, depression, body image and eating and food-related concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship struggles, and career or caregiver stress. She listens first, then helps build an individualized plan that matches your goals. Michelle draws from several practical approaches.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and ACT strategies to clarify values and take meaningful action. She also incorporates DBT skills for emotion regulation and tools from emotionally-focused work to address relationship patterns.
Over 17 years she has guided people through parenting challenges, adolescent behavioral concerns, blended family issues, and the overlap of mental health with medical or developmental differences such as autism. Her background includes work with eating disorders and compassion fatigue, and she brings that experience into focused, goal-oriented sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps pair a person with the right appointment times.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small, values-based steps toward those goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when you want concrete ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns of thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice new skills in conversation. Phone sessions are a good fit for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Text and live chat make it easier to fit brief coaching-style work into a busy day. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside family, work, and other responsibilities.
