Michelle Uribe, LMFT

Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 11 years of professional experience. As an LMFT she brings focused training in working with individuals, couples, and families to address a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, grief, anger, depression, ADHD, and other mood and family-related issues. She has worked in both educational and clinical settings, and she draws on that background to shape flexible, practical support that fits each client’s life.

Her approach is primarily client-centered - she prioritizes the client’s perspective and collaborates to tailor conversations and treatment planning to each person’s goals and needs. Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a variety of strategies to meet clients where they are on their mental health journey, adapting methods to address attachment, blended family dynamics, codependency, social anxiety, and related concerns. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process and frames the first step toward a more fulfilling life as a courageous, supported decision. Michelle aims to provide individualized care that helps clients find clearer pathways forward.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Michelle emphasizes a client-centered approach that places the client's goals and perspective at the center of treatment. This style focuses on building a collaborative relationship, listening carefully to each person’s experience, and shaping interventions around what matters most to them. It is helpful for clients seeking support with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

In addition to a client-centered foundation, Michelle applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to trauma, parenting, and family issues. These techniques are practical, research-informed strategies designed to address symptoms and patterns related to anxiety, trauma, grief, and family dynamics, helping clients develop skills and make meaningful changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - add flexibility to scheduling and make it easier to access consistent support. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different settings and to choose the format that best fits their lifestyle and therapeutic needs.
