Michelle Brenneman, LPC

Michelle Brenneman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who supports people working through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She cultivates a compassionate environment where clients can examine communication patterns, develop greater self-love, and navigate changes in career and identity.

Her practice emphasizes a personalized understanding of each client - especially women facing workplace pressures, midlife shifts, and healing journeys. She works collaboratively to build practical strategies that reduce isolation, strengthen self-esteem, and help clients reconnect with a sense of purpose.

Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Michelle guides clients through grief processing, stress management, and the exploration of guilt and shame. Her aim is to empower individuals to deepen self-understanding, improve relational functioning, and foster resilience as they move through life’s challenges.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Michelle uses evidence-based techniques that help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build practical coping skills to reduce stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. These approaches focus on skills practice, behavioral changes, and developing tools clients can use between sessions.

She also offers focused work on relationships and communication, helping clients improve connection, address commitment issues, and repair patterns that contribute to conflict or loneliness. For those facing loss or complicated emotions, Michelle incorporates grief-focused strategies to process feelings of guilt, shame, and bereavement in a paced, supportive manner.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy with Michelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels and making it easier to access consistent care from wherever the client is located.
