   About Michelle

   Michelle Burdick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people move through change. She uses clear, goal-oriented approaches to help clients cope with stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Michelle also assists people facing career questions, grief, anger, and the shifts that come with major life events.

   She draws on counseling experience and a background in human resources to support career-focused work. That background informs practical help with job search skills, interviewing, resumes, and LinkedIn presence. Michelle aims to help clients build confidence and take concrete steps toward more satisfying work.

   In sessions she blends motivational interviewing with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That mix helps people clarify goals, test small changes, and reduce unhelpful thinking that gets in the way. Mindfulness and existential ideas are used to ground discussions about meaning and purpose.

   Michelle has three years of counseling experience and additional years in HR prior to counseling practice. She works with concerns such as depression, social anxiety and phobia, fertility and cancer-related stress, and questions about life purpose. Her style is practical and conversational, orienting toward specific next steps.

   Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be seen. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking by following the Start Therapy flow on the site.

2. Motivational and Practical Work Online

   Michelle often uses motivational interviewing to draw out a person's own reasons for change and to encourage small, doable steps toward goals. That approach is helpful for career shifts, coping with life transitions, and increasing motivation around health or habit changes.
   
   She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and build momentum. CBT helps with anxiety and low mood by linking thinking and behavior, while solution-focused work zeroes in on practical next steps that can be tried between sessions.
   
   Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match the client's preferences, and adjust plans based on what is working. Clients and the therapist choose strategies together rather than sticking to a single method.
   
   Confirm the session formats before booking since this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time for people balancing work or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to fit everyday routines.
