Michelle Voegtle, LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people caught in cycles of addiction, grief, anxiety, or major life change. She focuses on practical steps to get unstuck and supports people as they rebuild a life that feels more authentic and manageable. Her style blends direct coaching with compassionate listening so clients can move forward with clear goals.

With 25 years in recovery work, bereavement, and life transitions, Michelle draws on a range of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often center on identifying barriers, learning new coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals. She emphasizes present-moment work and forward movement rather than staying focused on past hurts.

Michelle also brings attention to caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and issues that arise around hospice and end-of-life care. She helps people handle impulses, shame, and isolation while exploring purpose and midlife shifts. Her practice includes support for drug and alcohol addiction and related family problems.

People who work with her can expect a pragmatic, hopeful approach that combines counseling and coaching. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing alongside mindfulness and client-centered methods. The goal is steady progress toward the life someone wants to live.

If you want to start, be prepared to describe what you want to change and what a next step would look like. Michelle frames sessions around real-world steps so the work fits into day-to-day life.

How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with addiction, anxiety, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, cravings, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational approach that helps someone resolve mixed feelings about change and find their own reasons to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine these approaches. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide together what tools to try and how to pace the work.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight and let people use mindfulness and behavioral tools in the settings where problems actually occur.
