Michelle Voegtle, LPC

Michelle Voegtle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 25 years of experience working in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions. Licensed in South Carolina and Connecticut, she combines clinical counseling skills with training as a certified yoga instructor to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and other major life changes. Through attentive listening, kindness, and creative problem solving she helps clients get unstuck and move toward practical, sustainable change.

She partners with individuals to clarify where pain originates while keeping the focus on building a life that reflects their values and hopes. Michelle uses pragmatic tools grounded in hope to explore barriers, set achievable goals, and cultivate the life clients are meant to live. Some clients have shared the simple relief of feeling heard, summed up in comments like "you get it."

Working as both coach and counselor, she emphasizes present-focused work and forward momentum rather than remaining stuck in past hurts. Michelle affirms clients' worth and capability and supports them in taking concrete steps toward healing and growth. Early morning, evening, and weekend appointment times are offered to accommodate varying schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building behaviors that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their experiences and feel understood. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the process of rebuilding after loss or stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, stress, coping with change, and addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without requiring in-person visits.
