About Michele
Michele Gouin is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and issues with self esteem and confidence. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and career or life changes. Her style is warm, respectful, and direct, with attention to each person’s unique situation.
In sessions Michele adapts conversation and goals to what each person needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns, and emotionally-focused methods to help with connection and emotional understanding.
Clients can expect straightforward dialog and clear, practical steps when appropriate. Michele aims to balance listening with actionable ideas so people can try something between sessions. She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping the work focused on real-life improvements.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Michigan and Nevada settings over a 25 year career. Michele holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as LMSW and LCSW. She tailors treatment plans to each person’s goals and circumstances.
To begin, she asks people to describe their concerns and priorities so sessions match what they need. Michele encourages small, steady steps toward clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and better day-to-day coping skills.
