Michella Rahming, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Michella

Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on respect and steady support, creating space for people to speak openly about stress, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Her tone in therapy is warm and direct, helping clients name problems and try practical steps forward.

She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on validating feelings and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for emotion regulation when stress or strong feelings get in the way. Michella has worked with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and substance use issues.

She also addresses stress related to career, identity, multicultural concerns, and prejudice and discrimination. For people in recovery from substance use, she has provided telemental health support while they maintain sobriety. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University.

She is licensed to practice as an LPC in Georgia and holds additional LPC credentials in Alabama and Virginia. The Georgia license is GA LPC LPC013093 and the Alabama license is AL LPC 4253. Michella offers practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

Sessions tend to focus on what is working now, what can change, and small, achievable steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. In this approach the therapist reflects concerns back and helps people feel understood, which can reduce shame and open space for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood or anxiety, and then tests small changes to see if they help. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress toleration.

Choosing the right way to work is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try out approaches, and adjust plans based on what is most helpful. That collaborative process aims to match tools to the client’s needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations within Georgia. The range of formats also allows work on skills between longer sessions and quick check-ins when needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
