Michelle Chabot , LPC

Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help people find clearer direction and renewed hope. She creates a steady space to listen to your story and walk alongside you as you sort through hard feelings and life changes. Michelle emphasizes practical steps so clients can move toward goals with small, achievable progress.

She draws on her background in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Michelle spent 12 years in the Air Force and brings that life experience into work with people facing military-related transitions, trauma, and stress. That perspective also informs support for relationship and career shifts that follow big life moves.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building skills you can use between meetings. Michelle uses approaches that help reframe thoughts, find workable solutions, and make meaning from difficult experiences. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies to boost motivation and calm.

Her practice addresses relationship struggles, parenting and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, ADHD, and related issues. Michelle also works with people on adoption and foster care questions, fertility and loss, caregiver stress, and financial or career transitions.

People who choose her often want clear steps and a collaborative partner who listens. The work is practical and paced to your needs, with plenty of room to adjust goals as you make progress.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Michelle often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful thinking. This approach suits people facing anxiety, depression, or patterns that hold them back from goals.

She also applies solution-focused ideas that zoom in on practical steps and small changes you can try right away. That method is helpful for people who want quick strategies for communication, parenting, or coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and what feels most doable. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
