Michelle Robbins

Michelle Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Michelle also supports concerns related to abandonment, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, workplace difficulties, and questions about life purpose.

She approaches sessions by treating the client as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what is getting in the way of feeling more capable and steady.

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and to build skills for managing stress and mood. She helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and then tries new responses together in session. Work may include short-term skill building and longer discussions about identity and meaning.

Her experience includes aiding people through grief, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and the impact of chronic health issues. Michelle also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love as part of broader life adjustments.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and clearer thinking. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Behavioral techniques involve setting small tasks and routine changes to rebuild confidence and daily functioning.

She also integrates grief-focused work that helps people process loss at a manageable pace, with room to address complicated feelings like guilt, shame, or unresolved anger. These methods suit people who want clear steps and tangible skills alongside deeper reflection about life purpose and meaning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Michelle works with clients to identify goals, tries methods that fit the person's needs, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. That way the work stays practical and relevant to day-to-day concerns.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt session pace and homework to match a person’s routine and goals, helping therapy integrate with everyday life.
