   About Michelle

   Michelle Hammock is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She has six years of clinical experience helping people who are struggling with mood, behavior, and life changes. Michelle aims to offer a warm, respectful space where clients can take practical steps toward feeling better.

   She works in a conversational and interactive style. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable strategies rather than labels. Motivational Interviewing is one approach she uses to help people find their own reasons to change. Michelle also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person's needs and values.

   Clients often bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and stress related to career or parenting. She also supports people dealing with compulsive behaviors, process addictions, hoarding, and first responder stress. Sessions move at a client’s pace and emphasize small, concrete steps that build confidence.

   Michelle blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful, teaching practical tools for managing mood, impulsivity, and intrusive thoughts. She can use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques with those processing trauma or abuse.

   Her approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. Michelle helps people identify what matters to them, set realistic goals, and practice skills between meetings. She invites prospective clients to reach out and begin the matching and scheduling process.

2. How therapeutic approaches shape online work

   Michelle uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify why they want change and to strengthen their own commitment. This approach is conversational and focuses on a person's goals and values to encourage forward steps.
   
   She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions center on the person's viewpoints and priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can better understand themselves and make choices that fit their life.
   
   Finally, Michelle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and unhelpful thoughts. CBT includes practical exercises and homework that people can use between sessions to track progress.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts pacing and techniques so people feel involved in planning their care.
   
   The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also let people practice tools in their normal routines and bring real-life challenges directly into the conversation.
