About Michelle

Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, depression, grief, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in California.

She prioritizes a client-centered style that listens first, then uses practical strategies. Michelle adapts her approach to the person's current situation rather than pushing a single method. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and helpful conversation to address specific problems like anger, low self-esteem, or attention challenges.

Michelle's background includes work in educational and clinical settings. That mix informs how she talks about behavior, routines, and interactions at home or work. She often focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions to notice patterns and test new ways of responding.

In sessions she usually starts by clarifying immediate concerns and goals. Conversations move between understanding what's happened and practicing small changes in thinking or behavior. For people dealing with anger, she looks at triggers, patterns of escalation, and practical ways to interrupt those cycles.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Michelle helps people consider attachments, blended family dynamics, codependency, and mood issues when relevant. If self-harm or social anxiety are present, she works with clients to build safety plans and manageable skills over time.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts and behaviors fuel anger or anxiety and teach practical ways to test and shift those patterns. These techniques can help with everyday problems like work frustration, snapping at loved ones, or managing resentment.

Another commonly used approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns. This method helps people recognize how past interactions shape current reactions and guides them to try new ways of relating that reduce escalation. It is often useful when anger arises out of repeated relational cycles or blended family strains.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Michelle treats that as a collaborative process. She will help identify which methods match a person’s goals, test them in session, and adjust based on what actually helps.

The original biography did not list session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice new skills in real life and support follow-through between meetings.
