Michelle Coppins, LPC

Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, career changes, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing issues such as low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and the emotional impacts of divorce, fertility concerns, and midlife changes. Drawing on a collaborative, client-focused approach, she helps clients clarify what is troubling them and identify practical ways to think, act, and cope differently.

Michelle emphasizes skill-building so that people leave therapy better equipped to handle future challenges. In sessions she creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and explore the patterns that contribute to their distress. Using techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, she guides people toward realistic goals and sustainable changes in thinking and behavior.

Whether someone is navigating a new job, an empty nest, social anxiety, or the loss of a loved one, Michelle aims to make the therapeutic process understandable and goal-oriented. She offers steady support while helping clients develop tools to improve emotional resilience and move toward the life they want. Michelle welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients and to support them through whatever brought them to counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Michelle Coppins

Michelle Coppins uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client's own goals and values guide the process. This approach focuses on listening deeply, validating experiences, and helping people find their own solutions - it can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, family concerns, and life transitions.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore different strategies and adapt the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals without adding travel time.
