About Michelle
Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, eating issues, addiction, ADHD, and related concerns such as self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Michelle’s background includes care for a wide range of problems, and she uses those years of practice to guide practical next steps.
She pays attention to the specific problems a person brings. Sessions focus on identifying what is most difficult right now and building concrete skills to manage those situations. Conversations cover things like panic symptoms, trouble sleeping, control issues, and problems with food and body image when those are relevant.
Michelle draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness exercises. These methods are used to reduce avoidance, shift unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills.
Her work often includes addressing relationship patterns and family of origin issues that affect daily life. She also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, and feelings of isolation or shame. Practical problem solving and skill practice are common parts of sessions.
Michelle guides each person toward clear, doable goals. She encourages steady steps rather than quick fixes. The focus is on what someone can try between sessions and how to use new skills in everyday moments.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when avoidance or worry gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments and exercises to test unhelpful beliefs. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to increase attention to the present moment and reduce automatic reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process can include trying different exercises and checking what produces useful change.
