Michelle Voegtle, LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that help clients feel less stuck and move toward a life that fits their values. Michelle writes and speaks plainly, and she centers kindness and compassion in her work.

Michelle draws on experience in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions to help people clarify what matters to them now. Sessions tend to be forward-looking and action-oriented, with attention to how past hurts affect present choices. She combines coaching and counseling to support steady progress toward concrete goals.

Her approach is pragmatic and hopeful. Michelle helps people identify barriers, practice new skills, and make small changes that add up. She often uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies alongside cognitive work to ease anxiety and build resilience.

Many clients come with stress, grief, burnout, or relationship strains. Michelle also works with addiction, caregiver stress, midlife questions, and end-of-life concerns. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood while taking steps forward.

Michelle maintains licensure in South Carolina and Connecticut and brings a down-to-earth coaching style to sessions. She encourages people to try different ideas and pick what actually helps. Those who want to begin are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How these approaches shape online care

Michelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based action even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, grief, and making meaningful life changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals before planning next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow scheduling outside work hours, or make check-ins shorter when needed. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt exercises like mindfulness, ACT strategies, and goal-setting to remote sessions so the work stays practical and applicable to everyday life.
