About Michelle
Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, family issues, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Michelle also supports people facing ADHD, caregiver strain, career stress, and issues linked to adoption and attachment.
Her sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when clients want to make changes but feel stuck.
Michelle’s background includes supervising master’s-level clinicians and a master’s degree in community counseling plus an Educational Specialist degree. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets goals with people. She draws on evidence-based methods for grief, trauma, and family-of-origin patterns while keeping conversations clear and goal-oriented.
In a typical meeting she will ask about recent patterns, current stressors, and what the client wants to change. Together they pick small, practical steps to practice between sessions. Sessions often include skill-building for sleep, eating, anger, and coping with change.
People who are thinking about how childhood roles, expectations, or attachment habits still shape adult life may find this approach relevant. Michelle works in Pennsylvania and provides care in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people name their concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach keep conversations grounded in what matters most and use questions and reflections to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT often includes tracking patterns, trying short behavioral experiments between meetings, and practicing new skills for anxiety, sleep, eating, or anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered techniques, CBT, or motivational interviewing fits best for their goals. That decision is based on needs, preferences, and what shows early progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect for length and follow-up so therapy can fit into everyday life.
