Michelle ChabotLPC

Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people through relationship and pregnancy-related concerns. She aims to listen closely and create a calm space where parents and parents-to-be can talk about what matters most. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with the goal of finding practical steps forward. Michelle draws on a background in psychology and professional counseling to guide conversations about grief, fertility, adoption and foster care, and the stress that comes with life transitions. She uses plain language to help people make sense of mixed emotions like anxiety, shame, or anger. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that fit daily life. A 12-year Air Force veteran, Michelle brings personal experience with relocation, career shifts, and the demands of military life. That experience informs her work with issues such as first responder and veteran concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship strain during change. She also has experience supporting people through infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, and unplanned pregnancy. Michelle works with adults on topics including parenting, communication problems, commitment and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions, and career concerns. She helps clients identify goals and build skills for resilience, confidence, and healthier relationships. Short-term coaching and longer-term counseling are both part of her practice. Her education includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s in professional counseling. With three years of counseling experience, Michelle emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and practical strategies her clients can try between sessions.

Approach options and how online work can fit

Michelle often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict. This approach focuses on practical skills such as testing thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to see what helps. She also applies solution-focused and narrative methods to help clients clarify what matters and rewrite the story they tell about a problem. Solution-focused work zeroes in on strengths and next steps, while narrative work looks at the meanings behind experiences and how to reshape them. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and daily demands and then try methods that feel useful. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable. For online therapy logistics, please confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit counseling into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when days are tight. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity during moves or changing family schedules, helping therapy stay part of everyday life without promising a particular format.
