Michelle Marenghi-Arpin , LCMHC

Michelle Marenghi-Arpin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by looking beyond surface symptoms. Her approach aims to find why stress, anxiety, or low mood show up and what keeps them going.

Michelle prefers to look at the roots of problems instead of only treating symptoms. She helps clients identify patterns that began early in life and that no longer serve them. Together they build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others that fit daily life today.

People who have worked with her include busy professionals and overwhelmed parents who want practical change. She also supports those facing relationship strain, body image concerns, codependency, and the aftermath of trauma or loss. Common focus areas include postpartum depression, family of origin issues, and communication problems.

Sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and stress. Michelle works with worry related to commitment, abandonment, eating and food-related issues, and disruptive mood patterns like DMDD. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative.

Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats. Prospective clients follow a simple online process to get started. The work aims to help people move from surviving to making choices that feel more meaningful.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that look at early patterns and change the ways they respond today. One common method focuses on identifying attachment and abandonment patterns that affect relationships; work in this area helps people notice repeating dynamics and try new interaction patterns. Another practical approach addresses mood and anxiety symptoms with structured techniques that teach coping skills for stress, worry, and low mood. These techniques aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so the chosen methods match the issue and the client's pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
