Michelle Brenneman , LPC

Michelle Brenneman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who brings four years of focused clinical experience to her work supporting people through depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She creates an empathetic space where clients explore communication patterns, self-love, and life transitions while developing practical strategies to manage stress and build resilience.

Michelle emphasizes understanding each person’s unique story, with particular attention to supporting women facing workplace pressures, midlife changes, and recovery from painful experiences. She collaborates with clients to address feelings of guilt and shame, process loss, and confront isolation or loneliness, helping them reconnect with purpose and strengthen interpersonal connections.

Working from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Michelle focuses on concrete tools for coping and growth that apply to everyday challenges such as relationship conflicts, commitment concerns, and navigating life after disaster. Her approach is goal-oriented and client-centered, aiming to foster improved self-understanding, healthier communication, and a clearer sense of direction during periods of transition.

Evidence-Based Support and Flexible Online Care

Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients manage stress and anxiety, teaching skills to recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier coping responses that support daily functioning and emotional balance. She also provides focused support for grief and difficult emotions, helping people process loss, explore feelings of guilt or shame, and find ways to move forward with greater self-compassion. In addition, Michelle works on relationship and communication skills to address conflict, improve connection, and strengthen partnerships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Michelle collaborates with each person to identify which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how clients engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to access care around work, family, or other obligations. These options allow clients and licensed professionals to focus on progress and practical tools while fitting sessions into everyday life.
