About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a Nevada LCPC with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, identity questions, trauma, and issues such as shame, addiction, and stress.
She uses straightforward conversation and focused strategies to address what feels stuck. Sessions often look at patterns in thinking and behavior, and at how those patterns affect relationships and work. Michelle helps people name painful feelings and decide what changes matter most to them.
Her training includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches guide practical steps such as noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing different ways of speaking with partners, and building small habits that reduce reactivity.
Michelle pays attention to LGBT experiences, attachment and intimacy concerns, and identity-related stress. She also works with issues around caregiving, grief, body image, and career pressures. Those topics are explored with clear goals and practical exercises when useful.
Sessions balance listening and action. Michelle will offer tools, reflections, and homework when it helps. The focus is on useful change rather than labels or lectures.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work
Michelle blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into practical online sessions. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own priorities and values. CBT targets patterns of thought and behavior with specific exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. EFT helps with emotional connection and attachment concerns by identifying patterns in relationships and trying new ways of responding. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means trying a gentle mix of talk, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practice and adjusting based on what helps. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, reduce travel time, and make it possible to keep therapy consistent across life changes. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry practical tools into day-to-day routines and to maintain momentum between appointments.Areas of expertise
