Michella Rahming, LPC

Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings five years of clinical experience helping adult women navigate difficult life transitions and persistent concerns. She works with a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, career challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Michella also supports clients facing addictions and works with individuals in recovery who are currently sober through telemental health services.

Her practice reflects an integrative orientation, blending client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic ideas, and stages-of-change strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Central to her work is a commitment to unconditional positive regard - an emphasis on conveying empathy, respect, and genuine care so clients feel heard and supported as they pursue growth.

Michella earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University and a Master's degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. As an LPC, she combines training and lived clinical experience to create a collaborative therapeutic space focused on practical tools, personal insight, and sustained recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Michella Rahming integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core components of her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to explore feelings and goals while feeling heard and respected - this approach supports personal growth, self-acceptance, and clarity when facing life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills for everyday stressors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michella works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, tailoring techniques and pacing so the chosen methods fit the person rather than the other way around. This collaborative process helps determine whether to emphasize client-centered exploration, structured CBT work, DBT skills training, or a blend of methods.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients access care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, practice skills between sessions, and engage with licensed professionals from a convenient setting.
