About Michelle
Michelle Magee-Lopez is an LMFT licensed in Nevada and California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, depression, addictions, grief, and issues tied to identity and life transitions. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas. Michelle trained in theatre arts before earning a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, and she brings that background into her practice.
Michelle uses practical conversation and creative exercises in session. She leans on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. Solution-focused work is used when clients want concrete steps and short-term goals.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Michelle aims to help people notice patterns that started in their family of origin and how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. She works on communication, boundaries, codependency, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Her theatre background sometimes informs how she designs exercises or role-based practice. That can make difficult topics easier to name and practice. Michelle’s training in marriage and family therapy shapes the way she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics without assuming the same approach fits everyone.
People considering therapy are invited to think about the practical changes they want. Michelle combines listening, narrative tools, and solution-focused steps to help clients move toward those changes.
Approaches used in online sessions
Michelle commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities; it suits people who need space to name feelings and make sense of choices. Narrative Therapy invites clients to look at the stories they tell about themselves and to separate a problem from the person, which can help with family patterns and identity concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options, tries different techniques, and adjusts the plan based on how the client responds and what feels most useful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quick check-ins or focused goal-setting when needed. It also lets people try creative exercises or role practice from their own setting, which can support work on communication, family of origin patterns, and building new habits.
