About Michelle
Michelle Alden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and rebuilding self-esteem. Michelle is fluent in English and Spanish and works from Georgia.
She creates a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about what’s most pressing. Sessions often focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
How Michelle works
She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and social anxiety so they can move forward. Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, forgiveness, and patterns that hurt relationships. She guides clients toward healthier habits and clearer communication.
Work often includes learning new ways to respond under stress and practicing self-care that fits real life. Her approach respects personal values, including Christian perspectives when those are important to the client. She aims to meet clients where they are and supports progress at a comfortable pace.
The tone in sessions is direct, warm, and goal oriented. Many people come for help after a major life change, like a separation, or when they feel stuck about purpose and identity. Michelle helps people clarify what matters and take small, sustainable steps toward healing.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process trauma and reduce anxiety. Trauma-focused work involves carefully going through painful memories at a pace the person can manage while learning skills to reduce overwhelm. Anxiety-focused methods teach ways to notice and shift thinking and behavior that keep worry and avoidance in place.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress continues so the plan can change if something isn’t working.
If you are planning online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of online therapy are flexibility and easier scheduling. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter session is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to work well across these formats, and Michelle will help identify the best option for your circumstances.
