    About Michelle

    Michelle Mielniczek is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, anger, career shifts, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Michelle aims to help people rebuild resilience and find meaning in everyday routines.

    She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018 from Johnson and Wales University. Michelle has about nine years of experience working in both outpatient and inpatient settings. That range of work gives her familiarity with short-term problem solving and longer-term support.

    Michelle draws from several useful approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and find small, doable steps toward them. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help weighing options and building their own drive to change.

    Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing, with practical tools to try between meetings. She pays attention to each person's whole life, not just symptoms, and encourages skills that support everyday functioning.

    Outside of work Michelle enjoys crafting, gardening, and spending time with her dogs. These personal interests often inform a practical, resource-oriented outlook in her clinical work.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions

    Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems down into concrete steps to practice between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It can be helpful for addictions, readiness to change, and making tough life decisions.

    Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Michelle will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. She adapts techniques as you go so the work stays relevant and manageable.

    Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people use tools and worksheets electronically between sessions, keeping progress visible and practical.
