About Michelle
Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on relationship, family, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents feel heard. She aims to help families move from feeling stuck to finding practical next steps.
Michelle draws on everyday tools to help parents and partners manage stress, improve communication, and rebuild connection. Michelle trained in psychology and holds a Master’s in Professional Counseling. She served in the Air Force for 12 years and uses that life experience when working with military-connected families and career transitions.
Background and approach
She has three years of counseling experience and maintains professional memberships to keep learning new skills. In sessions she pays attention to emotions and to the story behind them. She often helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and practice new ways of relating.
She has worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents on issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. Michelle has also led and facilitated support groups on infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, and pregnancy loss. She supports clients through parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment issues.
Her work includes assistance with addiction, anger, and life transitions. Her approach draws from techniques such as cognitive-behavioral tools, solution-focused strategies, narrative work, person-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices. Michelle partners with clients to set clear goals and create steps toward them.
She works with people in Colorado and offers sessions in English.
Practical approaches for families delivered online
Michelle commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; this approach can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and sharpen parenting responses. She also draws on solution-focused methods that target small, achievable changes in day-to-day family life to create quick momentum toward goals.She pairs those with narrative work that helps families retell difficult experiences in ways that reduce blame and open up new options. Each method is described and used in simple, step-by-step ways so parents can practice between sessions and see what helps most.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a team effort. Michelle works with clients to identify priorities, try approaches, and adjust plans when something does not fit. She aims for a practical plan that matches each family's needs and goals through collaborative decision making.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make services easier to fit into busy schedules. These options let parents meet from home, continue care during relocations, or check in more often when life is hectic. The range of formats supports flexible scheduling and ongoing work on communication, parenting skills, and coping with life changes.
