About Michelle

Michelle Kohut is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggles around identity and relationships. Michelle aims to make therapy straightforward and human so people can start feeling steadier sooner.

Michelle creates an affirming space for clients to talk through identity questions, intimacy concerns, and relationship challenges. She pays close attention to how emotional patterns show up in daily life and in close relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches. That means she balances attention to emotions with practical steps to manage thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses mindfulness tools to help people calm and focus when worries spike. Michelle has supported people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like body image, commitment and communication problems, and complex trauma responses.

The aim is to help clients build coping skills and stronger self-understanding. Therapy sessions can include short-term strategies and longer work on patterns that repeat across relationships. Michelle works with each person to set goals they find meaningful and to measure progress in ways that matter to them.

Online support

Emotion and Skills Work Online

Michelle often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong feelings that shape relationships and attachment. It is useful for intimacy-related concerns, grief, and identity issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions, offering concrete techniques for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, which means the therapist listens carefully and follows each person’s lead. Together they decide which approach feels right. Finding the best method is a collaborative process that considers goals, comfort, and progress over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you want a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share between sessions or use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching how someone prefers to communicate.
