About Michelle
Michelle Price is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on parenting concerns and a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She brings 14 years of counseling experience in community mental health settings. Michelle aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for worried parents and individuals facing life changes.
She uses clear, goal-oriented techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
She also draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect behavior and feelings. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of the problem. Michelle’s background includes work in outpatient services, crisis services, intensive in-home care, and therapeutic day treatment.
That variety gives her experience with many kinds of challenges, from mood disorders to grief and caregiver stress. Her practice style is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps parents can use at home. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.
She listens for what matters to each person, then suggests skills and small experiments to try between sessions. Those tools might include emotion regulation practices from dialectical behavior therapy, thought-recording and behavioral experiments from CBT, or strategies to strengthen caregiver-child connections. Michelle values flexibility and meets people where they are.
She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, parenting struggles, trauma and relationship problems. Her aim is to help clients build clearer coping strategies and steadier routines. Her clinical years in community settings inform a practical approach that balances short-term tools with attention to relationship patterns and underlying trauma.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michelle blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in ways that work well online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress. Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and caregiver-child connections, which can help with parenting challenges, bonding, and family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative stance means methods can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible options that fit busy family life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and role‑playing with a child or co‑parent when needed. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get brief coaching, practice skills between sessions, or check in during a stressful day. These formats let parents fit sessions around school schedules, work breaks, and caregiving duties while still working with a licensed professional.
