About Michelle
Michelle Gross is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Michelle also addresses career challenges and issues related to caregiving and aging.
She draws on counseling and business training to blend practical problem solving with personal reflection. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and small, actionable steps. That can mean learning coping strategies for ADHD, developing routines that improve sleep and focus, or managing anger and impulsivity.
Michelle uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people make changes they choose. Conversations are intended to connect insight with everyday action rather than stay purely theoretical.
Her background includes counseling, coaching, and work in schools, universities, corporations, and private practice. That variety informs how she supports professionals who need help setting priorities, delegating tasks, or managing workplace stress.
Clients who are juggling caregiving, blended family pressures, or the practical demands of parenting may find this practical approach useful. Michelle welcomes international clients and works in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
How sessions work
How specific approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered listening in ways that fit everyday life. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and impulsivity. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and preferences, letting goals drive the pace and content of sessions.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation or high intensity reactions are present. DBT techniques teach skills for tolerating distress, managing strong emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills often translate into practical routines and communication habits that reduce conflict and overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best given their goals, needs, and daily responsibilities. That plan can change as progress happens.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins when needed, or choose whether to be on camera. These practical benefits make it easier to bring therapy into a busy routine.
