Michelle Price , LPC

Michelle Price is registered with the Virginia Board of Counseling as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and as a Clinical Supervisor. She has more than 13 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of community mental health settings. Her background includes roles such as Clinical Program Manager of Counseling Services, and leadership of outpatient services, crisis services, intensive in-home services, and therapeutic day treatment services.

Michelle's work is rooted in a cognitive behavioral therapy perspective, which she prefers for its clarity and practical focus, yet she integrates techniques from other models when they serve a client's needs. Her training includes Trauma-focused CBT, Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT), the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Al's Pals, and she is trained to administer the K-SADS assessment. She enjoys serving a diverse population and brings experience addressing family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, life changes, ADHD, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, career matters, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue.

Recognizing that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest steps, Michelle values the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports individuals and families as they move toward healing and clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle Price uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress; it is practical and goal-oriented, and often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and communication within relationships, helping clients and families improve trust, emotional attunement, and relational repair when attachment issues are present. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the consequences of traumatic experiences through targeted strategies to reduce symptoms and support recovery, and it can be tailored to children, adolescents, or adults who have experienced abuse or significant loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options, adjusts techniques as progress unfolds, and involves clients in choosing the path that feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, and they allow people to receive consistent care from their home or another convenient location while maintaining a therapeutic focus.
