About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical and educational experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, parenting stresses, grief, and life transitions. Her approach draws on practical conversation and steady listening to help people notice patterns and make realistic changes.
Michelle uses client-centered methods that ask about a person’s story and what matters to them. She listens for the beliefs and habits that fuel reactions like snapping or building resentment. From there she helps people reframe those patterns and try new responses that feel doable in daily life.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington, a Master of Science in School Counseling from Amberton University, and an Advanced Certificate in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. She has worked in social services, child protective services, public education, and community mental health.
Sessions focus on clear, conversational work rather than technical jargon. Michelle draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative work, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches when they fit the concern. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Those who want help with anger, midlife shifts, parenting strain, or coping with loss may find her straightforward, experience-based style helpful. She offers therapy in English and practices from Texas. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person's story and supporting their ability to make decisions. It centers the person as the expert on their experience and is useful for relationship stress, parenting strain, and general life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify goals and strengthen a person's commitment to change. It can be helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about the next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them as the client tests what helps.
Session logistics should be confirmed before you book since the biography does not list specific online formats. When scheduled online, therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about which session types are offered and how they fit your routine before scheduling.
