About Michelle
Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Nevada. She has 12 years of experience helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions around identity. Michelle creates a calm, affirming space where people can tell their story and figure out what matters to them next.
She focuses on concrete goals like easing social anxiety, managing workplace stress, and improving communication in close relationships. Michelle pays attention to how identity and sexuality affect daily life and decision making. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, addiction, and the emotional fallout after disasters.
Sessions are collaborative. Michelle listens first to understand each person’s experience. Then she offers tools and strategies tailored to their situation and goals. That might look like learning new ways to manage worry, practicing conversations, or noticing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her work draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas, with attention to emotions and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to help calm the body and focus the mind. The Gottman-informed and emotionally focused ideas help when relationship repair and connection are priorities.
Michelle aims to help people build steady routines, clearer boundaries, and healthier ways of coping. She supports parents, people navigating career stress, and those working through identity questions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, validation, and helping clients discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; online CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change emotional responses to improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Choices can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist adapts tools and pacing based on feedback from the person in therapy.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time. Others prefer in-person visits when deeper body-based work or local referrals are needed. Discussing practical needs during the first scheduling step helps match the right arrangement.
