About Michelle

Michelle Gross is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with twenty years of counseling, coaching, and education experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and life transitions. Michelle also supports clients facing career challenges, addiction concerns, sleep or eating struggles, and compassion fatigue.

She takes a straightforward, practical approach. Sessions focus on self-awareness and small, actionable steps. Michelle blends conversations about values and goals with tools to change daily habits.

Background and approach

She aims to turn insight into doable plans that fit each person's life. Her background includes work in schools, universities, corporations, and independent practice in North Carolina. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to students, professionals, and adults.

She also draws on experience in budget and project management to help clients organize priorities and tasks. Michelle has a particular interest in ADHD and works with adolescents, college-age people, and adults to build coping strategies. She uses techniques to improve focus, task completion, and self-understanding.

Clients looking to improve work performance or leadership skills may find this practical orientation useful. In sessions she mixes client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based tools. Dialectical behavior strategies and motivational interviewing also appear when the plan calls for them.

The goal is steady, manageable change that fits daily routines.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Michelle often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following each person’s goals. That approach is useful for anyone who needs a supportive space to talk and clarify priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever is convenient. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflections feel easier than talking.

These options make it possible to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
