About Michelle
Michelle Linzy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with high-functioning adults who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, and focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, coping with life changes, and coaching.

Michelle draws on years of experience as a therapist, educator, life coach, and caregiver. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening and figure out practical next steps. She listens for patterns that began in early family life and helps clients see how those patterns affect current choices and relationships.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and actionable tools. Clients can expect to talk through day-to-day struggles, learn new ways to manage stress and mood, and practice communication skills useful for parenting and workplace interactions. Michelle also supports people facing midlife questions, loneliness, immigration-related stress, and caregiver strain.
Sessions balance short-term problem solving and deeper exploration of recurring patterns. She helps clients weigh options, set boundaries, and rebuild routines that fit their priorities. The work is collaborative and practical, focused on what will make daily life more manageable.
Michelle offers work informed by real-world roles and clinical practice. People come to her to stop simply coping and to begin changing how they live, relate, and plan for the future.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change long-standing patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that drive anxiety and low mood; it helps with worry, low energy, and day-to-day functioning. Another approach examines relationship patterns that began in childhood and now affect adult relationships and parenting; it helps people recognize roles they repeat and practice different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which tools and methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts focus as progress or challenges emerge, so the plan can shift if needed.
