About Michelle
Michelle Simon is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3155) with 33 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, self-esteem and confidence, stress and anxiety, grief, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
She uses a cognitive behavioral approach frequently and also practices client-centered therapy. That means sessions often involve looking at patterns of thinking and behavior and talking through what feels most important to change. Conversation is practical and focused on what clients want to do differently in their daily life.
Michelle has experience with parenting during and after divorce, new parenting challenges, and fatherhood concerns. She also brings knowledge of the family court system and awareness of alternative health and medicinal approaches when those topics come up in sessions.
She has recently added a Christian-based therapy offering to respond to community needs. People who want faith-informed conversation alongside psychological approaches may find that option relevant.
Sessions are in English and based in Minnesota. Because she works with many relationship and life-transition issues, practical strategies for managing anger, communication, and coping are common parts of the work. To begin, clients choose their online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Michelle uses client-centered and CBT approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on open conversation and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to identify what matters most to change. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings about relationships, parenting, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and coping with difficult situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Michelle will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting focus as progress is made and trying different techniques when needed.
