About Mishelle
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 5 years of experience. Mishelle Lockerby helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She works directly with practical techniques and clear goals rather than vague promises. Her approach is grounded in structured therapies that address thinking patterns and trauma responses.
Mishelle uses methods that aim to make day-to-day coping more manageable. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.
In sessions she focuses on short-term skill building and concrete steps. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small goals that feel doable between meetings. For trauma-related issues she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques that address both symptoms and sources of distress.
She pays attention to how family of origin, cultural background, and life transitions affect mood and relationships. Common additional concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, postpartum depression, panic and phobias, workplace stress, and isolation or loneliness.
Mishelle invites people to start with a brief intake and a clear plan for the first few sessions. She asks questions, suggests exercises to try between visits, and checks progress regularly. If you want to know more about session logistics and formats, confirm current options before booking.

How her approaches translate to remote care
CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this can mean jointly reviewing thought records, setting small experiments to try between meetings, and tracking results together. EMDR focuses on processing traumatic memories; in a therapy setting it uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory work to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review symptoms, practical needs, and personal preferences, then decide which methods to prioritize. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is reviewed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Remote meetings can accommodate hands-on CBT exercises, guided mindfulness practice, and structured EMDR protocols with the therapist's guidance. Ask about session length, frequency, and any preparatory steps so you can plan how therapy will fit into everyday life.Sheet 3
