Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, rebuild self-esteem, and navigate major life changes. Her work often includes concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, career shifts, and pregnancy and childbirth. Michelle aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps clients clarify what is troubling them and identify small, manageable steps toward change. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be done differently in daily life. Her approach combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Clients learn concrete skills to handle emotions and to respond differently in stressful moments. Michelle has supported people through divorce, fertility concerns, postpartum and mood challenges, and workplace strain. She also addresses issues such as isolation, communication problems, and life purpose. Sessions are aimed at helping people gain clarity and build skills that last beyond therapy. People who come to her can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and set goals. Michelle works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person’s life and values. She invites prospective clients to begin by completing the site matching steps and scheduling a first appointment.

How Michelle's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to build understanding and personal goals. This approach helps with feeling heard, clarifying priorities, and making decisions during pregnancy, postpartum, or other life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It breaks problems into smaller steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress related to work or family roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t working.
