Michaela Trimble, LPC

Michaela Trimble is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping adults overcome anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. She brings a direct, action-oriented style to therapy, pairing practical strategies with evidence-based techniques so clients can move beyond talking and build skills that matter in day-to-day life.

Trained and recognized as a certified CBT specialist, Michaela emphasizes cognitive behavioral tools that clarify how thoughts shape emotions and behavior. She draws on CBT for anxiety disorders and CBT-I for insomnia to address panic attacks, obsessive thinking, phobias, social anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and the stress of life transitions. Her aim is to help people reduce mental overwhelm and the physical impact of anxiety while developing confidence to manage future stressors independently.

Michaela works with a broad range of concerns including stress, LGBT-related issues, women’s concerns, and coping with change. She focuses on building a personalized toolkit of coping techniques - from thought restructuring to behavioral strategies - so clients can quiet intrusive thoughts, improve sleep, and reclaim a sense of normalcy. Her approach is straightforward, empowering, and oriented toward measurable progress.

CBT-Focused Online Support for Anxiety and Sleep

Michaela uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety and mood problems. CBT equips people with concrete strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, reduce avoidance, and build coping skills for everyday stressors.

For sleep problems she applies CBT-I, a form of CBT adapted specifically for insomnia. CBT-I addresses the behaviors and beliefs that interfere with restful sleep and teaches routines and techniques to improve sleep patterns over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michaela treats it as a collaboration. She will work with each person to clarify goals, assess what techniques are most likely to help, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit treatment into busy lives: video calls and phone sessions provide real-time interaction, while live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter, more frequent check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to engage consistently with licensed professionals and to practice new skills in the settings where they matter most.
