About Mishelle
Mishelle Lockerby is a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Mishelle also supports concerns tied to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment, and mood-related disorders.
Her sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. EMDR is also among the approaches she uses when trauma memories are part of the picture.
Mishelle aims to adapt her style to each person. That means setting concrete goals, practicing skills in session, and checking what helps between meetings. The work tends to be straightforward and focused on daily problems and relationships.
She has experience with concerns that often follow immigration, first responder work, or isolation and loneliness. She also supports people facing postpartum depression, panic attacks, phobias, and workplace stress. Language for sessions is English, and practice is based in North Carolina.
To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Mishelle asks people to think about what they want to change and brings methods that match those goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mishelle commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change mood or anxiety levels. EMDR is an approach used when past distressing memories are affecting daily life; it pairs memory processing with guided attention to reduce emotional intensity.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily signals and thought patterns without getting swept up by them. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mishelle will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she will adjust strategies as progress is tracked.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists commonly use video or phone options, and the practical benefit is that sessions can often be scheduled around work, childcare, or other commitments.
