Michelle Waguespack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. She supports career questions, relationship and family worries, and coping with big life changes. She also works with parenting strain, blended family issues, codependency, and aging or geriatric concerns. She writes plainly and listens first, aiming to make sessions feel practical and down-to-earth.
Her background includes work in university, business, and independent practice settings. Her degree focus was in the marriage and family area, and over 12 years she developed a specialty in career counseling that covers early job decisions through later transitions. That mix gives her experience with both short-term coaching and longer conversations about life direction.
Michelle uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She aims to build a warm, non-judgmental relationship so people feel heard before deciding next steps. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes that fit daily life.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify what is already working and to build on strengths. Together these approaches are shaped around each person’s goals and preferences.
If someone wants to begin, Michelle asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy and respect. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical steps to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and low confidence. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small changes and clear goals, helping people build on what already works in their lives.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Michelle will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is ongoing, and plans can shift as goals evolve.
