About Michelle

Michelle Goehring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, eating and addiction concerns, and supports issues around identity and self-esteem.

Michelle frames therapy as practical problem solving. She helps people name current challenges and develop clear strategies to manage them. Sessions use straightforward conversation and skills-building instead of jargon.

Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. Those methods guide short exercises, skill practice, and attention to thoughts and values.

Clients can expect collaborative planning and concrete steps between sessions. Michelle often breaks larger goals into small actions that fit daily life. She emphasizes learning tools people can use when stress or cravings arise.

Her additional focus areas include relationship conflict, body image, parenting concerns, communication problems, sleep difficulties, bipolar and mood disorders, panic, ADHD, and reactions to medical issues like cancer. She also addresses guilt, isolation, control issues, and substance-related problems.

Michelle works with people across a range of mental health concerns and helps them find practical ways forward. If someone wants an approach that combines talk therapy with skills and mindfulness practice, her style is aimed at that balance.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when worries or avoidance get in the way of meaningful daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds attention training to notice thoughts and sensations without getting carried away by them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that may mix approaches over time to match what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote work helps them practice skills in ordinary routines, like using breathing or grounding tools between daily tasks. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises so they work in the setting you have available.
