About Michelle
Michelle Owusu is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and other challenges such as grief, addictions, and social anxiety and phobia. She practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English.
Michelle focuses on straightforward conversations and practical tools. She helps people talk through what is happening now and develop steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often cover emotion management, communication patterns, and coping strategies for life changes.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with a range of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and issues related to sexuality and multicultural identity. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to address both immediate stress and longer-term patterns.
Michelle pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics, and she works with people navigating blended families, separation, or commitment questions. She also assists with concerns such as ADHD symptoms, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue in caregiving roles.
Practical matters are part of her approach. She helps clients set small goals, practice new communication skills, and notice what changes help reduce distress. If you want to start, follow the site’s process to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, actionable steps. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral strategies, which involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and responding to reduce anxiety and phobic avoidance. These techniques often include small behavioral experiments and practical coping skills.Another approach she uses is relationship-focused work that looks at attachment and communication patterns. This helps people notice how past and current relationships shape reactions and gives concrete ways to practice different communication and boundary skills in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your routine and which session style would be most practical for you.
