About Michelle

Michelle Uribe is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self esteem concerns. She also supports those facing relationship and parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and life transitions.

Michelle takes a client-centered approach. She listens first and adapts her methods to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and respectful conversation. The aim is to build coping skills and small changes that add up over time.

Her background includes work in educational and clinical settings. Over 11 years she has worked with people across many kinds of struggles and life stages. That variety has shaped a flexible style that balances structure with empathy.

In therapy she uses a mix of evidence-based techniques chosen to fit the issue at hand. She pays attention to attachment and family patterns when they matter to the problem. Conversations often look at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns together.

Michelle describes beginning therapy as a courageous choice and focuses on treating people with sensitivity and respect. She tailors the pace and content of sessions to each person’s needs and goals. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Michelle uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach addresses thoughts and behaviors together to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments to change daily routines.

She also pays attention to attachment and family patterns when those affect current struggles. This kind of work looks at how early relationship experiences shape expectations and behavior now, and it can help with relationship stress, codependency, and blended family issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and how someone responds. Clients and the therapist set the pace and try things that fit the person’s life.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue work through transitions or schedule sessions around parenting, school, or work commitments.
