About Michelle
Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, eating and substance issues, and concerns about identity and self-esteem.
Her practice focuses on identifying what is causing difficulty now and developing simple, practical ways to handle those problems. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. Conversations are direct and focused on everyday changes that make life easier.
Michelle uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered methods. She teaches tools for managing strong emotions, improving sleep and reducing compulsive or addictive behaviors. These tools also help with parenting strain and restoring better communication with others.
People who come because of family of origin issues or long-standing patterns often work on recognizing old roles and making different choices now. Work may include rethinking expectations, coping with guilt or shame, and improving boundaries. Sessions aim to translate insight into steps that fit regular life.
Michelle asks clients to set clear goals and to try small behavior changes between sessions. Her approach combines practical skill teaching with direct conversation about patterns that come from how people were raised. This helps turn understanding into day-to-day improvements.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Michelle regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and commit to small actions that reflect what matters to them. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions tied to family expectations.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that maintain worry, low mood, or problematic behaviors. CBT work tends to focus on practical exercises, behavior experiments, and skills for sleep, mood, and eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as needs change.
