About Michelle

Michelle Uribe is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of experience. She focuses on parenting and family-related concerns along with stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Michelle uses a client-centered style and aims to meet people where they are in their mental health journey.

She speaks English and practices in California. Michelle has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses ADHD, self esteem, attachment issues, and blended family concerns. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Her background includes work in educational and clinical settings, which gives her experience with different day-to-day challenges families face.

Michelle emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She frames therapy as a partnership where practical steps are taken toward clearer goals. Sessions can include discussion of relationship patterns, parenting strategies, and ways to reduce stress and anxiety.

She also helps people manage mood disorders, codependency, social anxiety and phobia, and self-harm concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps. The aim is steady progress through achievable changes. Michelle encourages a first step even when it feels hard.

She helps people set priorities and create plans that fit real life. Her approach is adaptable and focused on what will work for each person.

Therapeutic techniques and online options that fit family life

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change patterns and cope better. One common approach is client-centered work, which centers sessions on what matters most to the person and uses listening and reflection to build insight and trust. This helps when stress, anxiety, or parenting doubts feel overwhelming.

She also applies practical problem-solving strategies to break larger issues into steps you can try between sessions. These strategies aim to reduce immediate stress and create routines that support better moods and relationships. They are useful for mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, and family organization concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works together with each person to pick techniques that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative work helps ensure the plan fits day-to-day life and adjusts as things change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance easier for busy households. These formats allow flexibility for scheduling and for choosing a way to communicate that feels most comfortable. The range of options helps people maintain consistency even when routines are tight.
