About Michelle

Michelle Grimmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through hard life changes and intense emotions. She emphasizes clearer communication, stronger self-worth, and practical steps forward for everyday problems.

Her work often addresses relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar. She also helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, sleep problems, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Additional areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and family problems. Michelle blends several therapy styles to match each person's situation. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered approaches to strengthen emotional awareness and safety in sessions. Sessions are practical and grounded.

Michelle aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. She helps people identify small, doable changes that reduce stress and improve daily life. Michelle works with clients who want coaching on career or life purpose as well as those navigating separation, domestic violence recovery, or disaster-related stress.

She accepts international clients and offers a mix of live video, phone, chat, and text-based options to fit different needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and uses empathy and active listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend techniques that fit. Plans can change over time as needs shift, and the therapist works alongside clients to test what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from a clinic. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions let clients join without video, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or skills practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting work, family, and daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
