Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity questions, and relationship stress. Her work centers on building a respectful, affirming space where people can feel heard and start to make small changes that matter.
Michelle uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first and then helps clients set clear, practical goals. That can mean learning ways to manage stress, practicing new ways to talk about needs, or trying small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
She draws on several approaches to tailor care to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-Centered Therapy helps people feel accepted and understood so they can explore identity and self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method inform her work around relationship patterns and communication.
Michelle often works with people facing workplace stress, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity. She also supports those coping with life transitions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and body image or eating concerns. Sessions are aimed at practical progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect her Nevada licensure. To begin, prospective clients follow the site matching process and schedule a time based on availability. She asks people to come ready to talk about what matters most to them and what they hope to change.
How Michelle Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Michelle often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and helping people explore identity and self esteem at their own pace.
She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are a central concern, helping people name emotions and shift how they connect with others. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which tools to try based on present needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and communication skills to the online setting so progress continues between sessions.
