Michelle Voegtle , LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience working in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions. She practices with a blend of compassion and pragmatic focus, helping people move past the obstacles that keep them stuck and toward the life they want to build. As an LPC, she holds professional counseling credentials that qualify her to assess, support, and guide clients through emotional and behavioral challenges.

Her approach emphasizes kindness, practical strategies, and creative problem solving. Michelle helps individuals clarify where pain originates without lingering there - the goal is to acknowledge the past while taking concrete steps forward. She blends coaching and counseling to support clients in building new patterns, strengthening self-worth, and cultivating purpose in daily life.

Michelle works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career changes, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also focuses on aging and caregiver stress, codependency, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and women’s midlife issues. Clients frequently note the relief of feeling understood and validated as they explore barriers and move toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth and Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life-direction concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they explore identity, relationships, and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, and mood-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each client.
