Michelle Price, LPC

Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and mood differences. Michelle practices in Virginia and offers sessions in English.

Michelle keeps therapy straightforward and practical. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused methods when they fit a person's needs. Sessions are aimed at clear skills, steady progress, and relief from overwhelming feelings.

Before counseling, Michelle spent many years in community mental health settings. Her roles included clinical program manager for outpatient and crisis services, intensive in-home services, and therapeutic day treatment. This background shapes how she plans care for people with complex, overlapping concerns.

In the room she favors a client-centered style. That means she listens first, then tailors strategies to what the person needs. She uses parts of different models when helpful rather than sticking to one single approach.

Michelle has received training in trauma-focused CBT and attachment-based family work. She has also worked with adolescent-focused approaches and assessment tools used in clinical settings. Her experience includes supporting young people as well as adults through difficult transitions.

Reaching out for help is often the hardest step, and she recognizes that. The aim of her work is to create practical steps forward, reduce distress, and help people build more manageable daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness, and conflict and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mean trying one approach for a while, then mixing in different techniques if needed.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since none are listed in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when needed and let people practice skills in their everyday settings without needing extra travel time.
