About Michell
LCSW in Illinois with 10 years of experience, Michell Roberts helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and building self-love.
Michell uses straightforward conversations to find what already works for each person. She centers sessions on the client's concerns and preferences, then introduces techniques from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions are practical and skills-focused rather than abstract.
She often helps people spot patterns that keep problems repeating. That can mean identifying thought habits that fuel anxiety or practicing brief mindfulness exercises to lower stress in the moment. She also works on clear communication skills for strained relationships.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear in her work when clients want concrete steps and quick progress. Those methods are used to clarify goals, build momentum, and try small experiments between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple, measurable ways.
Michell describes herself as collaborative. She draws on the client's strengths and preferences when choosing techniques. This makes sessions more likely to fit into daily life and to feel useful from week to week.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns, letting the client's priorities guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment coping.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what works. The aim is to find techniques that fit the client's life and produce useful changes between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Remote work also lets clients practice skills in their everyday settings and bring real situations into session for immediate problem-solving.
