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 relationship concerns. Michelle also supports people facing career or life transitions and those dealing with grief or parenting strain.

Michelle sees many reasons people seek counseling. Clients may be navigating divorce or separation, adjusting to an empty nest, coping with a new job, or grieving a loved one. She helps people name what feels most difficult and then works with them to find practical ways to respond differently.

Her work centers on clear, down-to-earth conversations and skill-building. People learn ways to manage strong emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes. Sessions also address communication problems, isolation or loneliness, and workplace stress.

Michelle brings experience with women's issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related challenges, fertility concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people affected by mood disorders, social anxiety, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Throughout counseling Michelle aims to provide a calm, nonjudgmental space. She helps each person set realistic goals and develop tools to handle future setbacks. To begin, visitors follow the site's Start Therapy steps and complete a short matching form before scheduling.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online counseling

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to describe what matters most, and then reflects back to help clarify feelings and goals. This approach helps with stress, grief, self-esteem, and decisions around life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice different behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and social or workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals, and the problems you want to address, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and letting sessions happen from a familiar setting. It also lets people pace work around jobs, childcare, or medical appointments while still keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
