About Michelle
Michelle Wygant, LPC, helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment wounds, and major life transitions. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at people who need clear steps and steady support.
Michelle uses a warm, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first and then helps clients name what feels most urgent. Together they build simple coping skills for sleep, stress, mood swings, and day-to-day overwhelm.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with tools from Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she focuses on what matters to each person and practices concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include skill practice and short homework to try between meetings.
Michelle has about 15 years of clinical experience in outpatient settings and has supervised counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree. She brings practical experience with grief, trauma, postpartum challenges, and parenting stress.
People meet her when they want steady, nonjudgmental help and clear steps forward. She aims to help clients feel heard and to build routines that reduce stress and improve relationships. If change feels hard, she focuses on small, manageable goals that add up over time.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s perspective and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients make choices that fit their life. This approach is helpful for building trust and working through attachment and adoption-related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Michelle will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice or worksheets that can be used between sessions to reinforce learning.
