About Michelle

Michelle Marenghi-Arpin is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in New Hampshire. She brings 14 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. She speaks English and focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship and family concerns.

Michelle prefers to look beneath surface symptoms to find what’s driving them. She helps clients notice earlier life patterns and how those patterns show up now.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build new, more useful ways of thinking and behaving that fit the life clients want. Her approach is collaborative and practical. She talks things through, helps set workable goals, and uses evidence-based methods to address issues like attachment wounds, communication problems, and parenting stress.

She also addresses struggles such as body image, codependency, grief around separation, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. People who work with Michelle tend to be motivated to change and ready to try new strategies. She has experience supporting those juggling busy schedules and the everyday demands of work and home life.

The tone in sessions is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on realistic steps clients can take between meetings. To begin, clients use a subscription-based system to arrange sessions. Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Michelle does not take international clients and practices in New Hampshire.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting challenges

Many of Michelle’s methods focus on identifying long-standing patterns and teaching practical skills to change them. One common approach she uses looks at early attachment and how those relationship patterns affect current interactions; this helps people understand why they react a certain way and learn new patterns. Another approach centers on symptom-focused strategies for anxiety and depression, giving concrete tools for managing overwhelming thoughts and moods so daily life becomes more manageable.

Figuring out the best approach is part of the work together. Michelle collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work and parenting responsibilities and to use short check-ins when needed. Michelle uses these formats to keep therapy practical, ongoing, and accessible for people living in New Hampshire who prefer remote care.
