Michelle Kyles, LPC

Michelle Kyles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with more than 10 years of professional experience. She supports people coping with stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship challenges, and the often difficult adjustments that accompany life changes. Her work also addresses family dynamics, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, attention-related struggles such as ADHD, and a wide range of interpersonal and workplace issues.

Michelle creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She partners with clients to identify goals, develop practical coping tools, and build resilience at a pace that fits each person. Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, she offers steady support throughout the process and helps clients move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle Kyles commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where clients direct the pace and topics of sessions - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She may also draw on Motivational Interviewing when clients are considering change, using gentle, goal-focused conversations to strengthen motivation and resolve ambivalence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists while fitting treatment into everyday life.
