About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 12 years of experience practicing in Nevada. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and pressure from work or life changes. Michelle creates an affirming, compassionate space where clients can say what feels hard and start making practical changes.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first and then uses clear tools to address the problems named in session.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning new communication skills, managing strong emotions, and building small daily habits that reduce overwhelm. Michelle uses proven therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and relationship work when needed to address intimacy and connection concerns.
People who come to her typically want straightforward guidance and practical strategies. She offers a calm presence and helps clients break big issues into manageable steps. The work is paced to match each person’s needs and goals.
Michelle accepts sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. In practice this means sessions focus on what the client says matters most, and the therapist reflects and supports rather than directs. This helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include learning simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors between meetings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift emotional patterns that occur in relationships and close connections. In sessions the therapist helps identify feelings and guides small changes in how people respond to each other.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, practice communication, and track small wins over time.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
