Michelle Wygant, LPC

Michelle Wygant, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, chronic illness, and issues tied to trauma or attachment. Michelle brings a steady, approachable presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

She has 15 years of counseling experience and works from a collaborative, person-centered stance. Michelle listens first, then helps clients identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors. She uses simple, concrete tools drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and set realistic goals.

Michelle also addresses complicated losses and trauma-related concerns in ways that respect each person's pace. Her work with grief spans different life stages and types of loss, and she helps people find ways to carry forward after change. She pays attention to how family history, attachment, and early separations can shape current relationships.

In sessions she blends supportive listening with skill teaching. That can mean practicing new ways to handle stress, changing unhelpful thinking, or testing small changes in communication. The focus is on what the client wants to accomplish and on steps that fit into day-to-day life.

Michelle trained in community counseling and earned advanced coursework beyond her master's degree. She has supervised counseling interns and master's-level clinicians. People who want clear, practical guidance with an empathic therapist may find her approach helpful.

How Michelle's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach helps when someone needs emotional validation, clearer goals, and steady support while facing change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for building skills to manage everyday stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and reduce the need to travel. It also lets people continue care around medical appointments, caregiver responsibilities, or relocation. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and what to expect. Licensed professionals can use virtual sessions to teach coping skills, structure homework between meetings, and keep momentum when in-person visits are difficult.
