Michelle Price, LPC

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and family problems. She draws on 14 years of experience in community mental health and works with adults, adolescents, and children in a practical, down-to-earth way. Michelle aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about starting therapy.

Her approach centers on cognitive behavioral therapy, which she uses because it is straightforward and adaptable to real life. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior, and trauma-focused techniques when past hurt is part of the problem. Michelle mixes methods as needed, keeping the focus on what helps each person make daily progress.

Michelle's background includes leadership roles in outpatient, crisis, intensive in-home, and therapeutic day treatment services. That work gave her experience with a wide range of needs and situations people bring to counseling. She has also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and Attachment-Based Family Therapy techniques specifically used with young people and families.

Practical skill-building is part of sessions, with attention to managing strong emotions, building coping tools, and improving communication. Michelle also brings experience addressing caregiver stress, co-occurring conditions, and mood disorders. She encourages people to take the next step and offers a clear process to begin work together.

Her practice is based in Virginia and sessions are offered in English. Michelle supports people who want steady, skills-focused therapy and guidance as they work toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, and it helps people repair trust and closeness in important connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the person find their own path; it can help with self-esteem, grief, and making decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those priorities. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins during work breaks or evenings. It also supports using worksheets, behavior experiments, and skills practice between meetings so people can apply what they learn to daily routines. Licensed professionals can guide a plan that fits each person's schedule and goals, and they adapt the approach based on how well methods are working in the online setting.
