Michelle Chabot brings a lifelong commitment to serving others into her counseling practice, offering a calm, guided presence for people navigating difficult moments. She creates a supportive space where individuals can share their story and work collaboratively to explore past experiences, clarify goals, and create practical steps toward change.

Trained with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling, Michelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado - an LPC is a license that indicates professional training and state approval to provide counseling services. She maintains memberships in professional counseling organizations and continually seeks new techniques that will benefit her clients.

A combat veteran who served 12 years in the Air Force, Michelle draws on military experience to understand stressors related to family life, marriage, career transitions, relocation, crisis, and trauma. She has worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents facing depression, anxiety, communication struggles, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and trauma. She also has direct experience facilitating support groups for infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, unplanned pregnancies, and abortion.

Michelle emphasizes resilience building through relationship strengthening, confidence development, and premarital counseling, tailoring work to each person or family. Her approach blends Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, with additional techniques from Client-Centered practice, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness to help clients move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle primarily uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in her work. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and actionable steps, helping clients move toward specific goals by building on what already works. Narrative Therapy explores the stories people tell about their lives, offering a way to reframe experiences and reduce the impact of traumatic or painful events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so the method fits the individual. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to tailor care to a client’s situation.

Online therapy with Michelle offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and relocation, and they increase access for people in different areas of Colorado. The variety of options supports continuity of care and helps clients engage in a way that suits their daily life.
