About Michelle

Michelle Karamooz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Michelle focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of functioning and well-being, such as relationship challenges and family-related stress.

Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions center on clear goals and skills people can use between appointments. Michelle listens for what matters most and helps clients break big problems into smaller, manageable steps.

Background and approach

She brings particular attention to issues around adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact of life transitions like divorce or pregnancy. Michelle also addresses social anxiety, panic attacks, body image concerns, and patterns of guilt or shame. In sessions she works collaboratively to improve communication, reduce isolation, and rebuild self-worth.

The work often combines practical strategies with attention to feelings so clients can move forward more confidently. Michelle offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people start by completing a short matching questionnaire to connect and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Michelle uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to online care. One common approach focuses on skills training to manage anxiety and panic. This teaches breathing, grounding, and coping steps to reduce intense physical and mental symptoms in daily life.

Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns. Sessions look at how people express needs and set boundaries, and build practical ways to talk through conflict or family stress. This helps with repeated arguments, blended family dynamics, and issues around adoption or foster care experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they review what’s working and adjust strategies over time.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and busy days. The variety of formats also means people can choose the way of communicating that feels most helpful for their situation.
