About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with 17 years of experience. She helps adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, eating and body image concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.
Michelle spends sessions focused on practical skills and clear conversations. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. In a typical meeting she will listen to what matters most, outline small steps, and practice concrete strategies you can try between sessions.
Parents who are juggling daily care and behavior questions will find attention to parenting concerns and blended family issues. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and difficulties that come from family of origin patterns.
When eating or body image issues are present, Michelle uses targeted tools to address thoughts, habits, and the emotional patterns that maintain them. She works with people on compulsive behaviors, food-related worries, and linked anxiety symptoms.
Michelle describes therapy as a place to talk through current problems and practice new ways of coping. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with space to reflect on values and small behavior changes. People interested in starting are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters most and encourages small steps toward those values. It is useful when stress, anxiety, or parenting responsibilities feel overwhelming because it focuses on actions that matter rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change patterns such as anxious thinking, compulsive behaviors around eating, or avoidance that affects relationships.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals and daily life. Clients help shape which methods are used week to week.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days - they can shorten commute time, allow calls during a work break, or reduce the need to arrange childcare. Talk with the therapist during the initial scheduling steps to learn which formats are offered and to set up a plan that fits regular routines.
