Michelle Wygant , LPC

Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to women's issues. Michelle also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical coping skills people can use between meetings. Michelle frames goals together with each person and adjusts plans as needed.

Michelle uses client-centered work to prioritize each person's experience and goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build alternative strategies. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree. Over her career she has provided outpatient therapy and supervised counseling interns and master's-level clinicians. That experience informs a straightforward, supportive approach.

People come to Michelle when daily life feels overwhelming or when specific losses, trauma, or transitions make it hard to move forward. In sessions she offers practical tools, clear explanations, and steady support to help people regain confidence and cope more effectively.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Michelle commonly uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's values and goals, offering a listening, nonjudgmental stance that puts the client's experience first. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a space to sort feelings and decisions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides concrete tools to interrupt unhelpful thinking and build new routines, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That choice is based on goals, symptoms, and what feels most helpful in sessions.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat and text are good for quick check-ins or when typing helps people reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
