About Michelle
Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 12 years of clinical practice in Louisiana to her work. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and substance concerns, and challenges around self-esteem and identity. Michelle speaks plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and adults alike.
Michelle meets each person where they are and starts by identifying the most pressing problems.
Background and approach
She and the client set clear, realistic goals together. Sessions focus on practical skills to handle intense feelings, improve sleep, and manage day-to-day stress. Her approach draws from several well-known methods, including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness.
Those tools are used to spot patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build steady routines that reduce overwhelm. Michelle also uses client-centered listening to shape sessions around each person’s priorities. Therapy often includes short exercises between sessions, simple breathing or grounding practices, and direct conversations about relationship and family dynamics.
She helps people work through eating and body image worries, cope with life changes, address addictive behaviors, and improve communication skills. Michelle practices in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English. She understands taking the first step can feel hard and aims to make the process steady and understandable as people work toward clearer goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, mood problems, sleep, and eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills; phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around family, school, or work commitments and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
