Michella Rahming , LPC

Michella Rahming is an LPC who uses a client-centered way of working. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in their day-to-day lives. Her style is warm and direct, with attention to each person’s goals.

Michella has five years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She helps people facing relationship strain, career questions, grief, and sleeping problems. She also supports those dealing with addictions and recovery concerns, including drug and alcohol issues.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavior techniques and skills-based strategies. She draws on dialectical behavior ideas and narrative methods to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Sessions are aimed at building practical coping skills and clearer thinking.

Michella lists women’s issues among her focus areas and often addresses guilt, shame, and self-love in sessions. She also brings attention to multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination when those topics come up.

She is licensed as a professional counselor in Georgia and holds the LPC credential. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a range of online formats. The first steps are simple and designed to match clients with the right schedule and format.

Approach-driven care for online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard, name their priorities, and set goals that make sense for their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, more balanced thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stressors because it combines practical exercises with thinking changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It can be helpful when anger, intense mood swings, or self-directed harshness get in the way of daily functioning.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. This happens through conversation, trying techniques, and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full-session conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexible ways to check in between calls or when someone needs a brief touchpoint. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
