About Michelle

Michelle Taft Webb is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and trauma. She uses clear, practical methods to help people cope with grief, sleep problems, anger, career changes, and intimacy-related issues. Michelle works from Texas and brings 12 years of experience to her practice.

Michelle draws on several practical therapy approaches to meet real-life needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs a nudge toward change. Narrative and Existential ideas can help people make sense of life events and find direction. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward.

Michelle listens closely, helps set clear goals, and adapts strategies to fit each person’s situation. She also addresses family-related concerns and issues tied to identity, communication, and caregiving stress. Her license details are TX LPC 81002 and WA LMHC LH 61501266, and she practices in English.

Michelle has worked in a range of settings that include mental health and substance use treatment, both inpatient and outpatient. For people ready to begin, she offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those interested start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and then practicing small changes to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation when they feel stuck. Existential and narrative ideas are used to help clients make sense of their life stories and consider values and purpose when facing big transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or caregiving duties. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between live sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into real life.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
