About Michele

Michele Lackey is a Georgia-licensed LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 29 years of clinical experience supporting adults through periods of stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She combines long-standing professional practice with a strengths-focused outlook, helping clients recognize and build on the resources they already possess to move past obstacles and regain motivation and confidence.

Her practice includes focused work with survivors of trauma and abuse and attention to veteran and armed forces issues and sexual assault and abuse. Michele approaches each case with practical tools and a compassionate stance, tailoring interventions to the challenges presented and the individual preferences of those she serves. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client remains the architect of their own story while the therapist provides guidance, skills, and support.

Michele acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and vulnerability, and she welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they pursue change and healing. Her goal is to assist people in developing lasting coping strategies and renewed self-assurance as they work toward personal goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more adaptive responses - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that supports processing distressing memories and traumatic experiences in a way that can reduce their intensity and emotional charge - it is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers treatment on understanding and addressing the impact of traumatic events, tailoring interventions to support recovery for survivors, including those affected by sexual assault or military-related experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michele works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit. This collaborative process helps ensure that interventions align with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect across distances. Licensed professionals and therapists can maintain regular contact, provide timely support, and adapt session formats to what works best for each client, which supports continuity and accessibility of care.
