About Michelle
Michelle Hammock is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska. She has six years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and related concerns. Michelle brings a warm, respectful approach that aims to reduce shame and make it easier to talk about hard issues.
She uses practical methods drawn from client-centered care and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new coping strategies.
Background and approach
Michelle also incorporates mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are conversational and interactive. Michelle listens first to understand what matters most, then works with each person to set small, achievable steps.
Parents looking for support with parenting stresses will find a focus on real-world strategies that fit busy lives. Her background includes work with trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, mood disorders, and addictions including process and substance-related patterns. That range means she often helps people who are juggling multiple challenges at once, such as mood instability alongside relationship strain or substance use.
Michelle tends to blend evidence-based tools with an empathetic stance. She helps people build skills for emotion regulation, reduce impulsivity, and cope with grief or life transitions. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions let Michelle follow each person's pace, validate their experience, and shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Online CBT often uses short homework tasks and real-time skill practice during video or chat sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced in real life and reviewed during calls or messages. Michelle will work collaboratively to find the best approach based on a person's goals, symptoms, and daily routines rather than imposing a single method. That shared decision-making helps tailor therapy as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy family and work lives.
