About Michelle
Michelle Evans is a licensed clinician who helps parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and offers practical tools for managing daily life. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making sessions feel welcoming and useful from the first visit.
Evans draws on more than 17 years of experience in mental health care. She brings medical training (MD) alongside licensure as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC).
Background and approach
That mix helps her see both the emotional and practical sides of a problem. In session she focuses on what will help right now. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical approaches when relationships and intense emotions are part of the concern. Parents often ask for help with adolescent behavior, blended family challenges, eating and body-image concerns, or coping with life changes. Evans offers clear strategies for communication, boundary setting, and managing intense feelings so parents can feel more confident at home.
Sessions are flexible and offered by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Michelle works with people in Vermont and conducts therapy in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect you and then you schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters to you as a parent or partner.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing reactions to stressful parenting moments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets the ways emotions shape relationships and can help when connection or intimacy is strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit best. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that feels most helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule while focusing on real-world changes.
