About Michell

Michell Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps that can reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Her work often centers on improving communication, building self-love, and clarifying life purpose.

She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Sessions include listening, reflection, and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her work when habits and unhelpful thinking patterns get in the way. She uses concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness tools are added to help slow down stressful reactions and bring attention back to the present. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find small, achievable steps forward. These methods are useful when someone feels stuck or unsure where to begin.

The focus is on progress rather than perfection. Over ten years of practice has shaped a straightforward style. Sessions tend to be practical, warm, and goal-oriented.

Prospective clients can expect a mix of listening, skill-building, and short-term planning.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers conversations around what the client finds most important, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back concerns to help set personal goals. This approach supports people who need help prioritizing and deciding what to try first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It uses practical exercises and homework that are easy to assign and review during video or messaging sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Collaboration helps find what feels useful and sustainable for daily life.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep work moving forward without long gaps.
