Michelle Price

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people cope with life changes and other stressful situations. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and relationship or work stress. Michelle has 14 years of counseling experience and welcomes straightforward conversations about what feels hard right now.

Michelle draws mainly on cognitive behavioral therapy, using simple, practical tools to shift thoughts and daily habits that contribute to distress. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. When trauma is part of the picture, she incorporates trauma-focused strategies to help people process painful experiences at a manageable pace.

Her background is rooted in community mental health. Over the years she has held roles that include clinical program manager for outpatient services, crisis services, intensive in-home supports, and therapeutic day treatment. That history shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation.

Sessions focus on clear goals and teachable skills. Michelle likes to break problems into small, doable steps so progress feels more real. She works collaboratively to find tools that fit a person’s life and priorities.

If someone is unsure where to start, Michelle typically begins with a short assessment and a few practical strategies to relieve immediate stress. From there she and the client plan ongoing work together, checking in and adjusting as needed.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work

Michelle commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress, which works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions, which can help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, and caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows people to try tools learned in sessions in their everyday settings and review homework or skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-based techniques effectively to remote settings, focusing on skill practice and real-life application.
