About Michelle

Dr. Michelle Tatum is a clinician who uses clear, practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She is Dr. Michelle Tatum, LCPC, LPCC and brings 18 years of professional experience. Her approach is direct and respectful, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.

She focuses on straightforward conversations and workable plans. Sessions concentrate on real problems and small changes that add up over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when helpful, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to them.

Dr. Tatum adapts each plan to the person in front of her. She pays attention to cultural background, life stage, and the particular stresses someone faces. That can mean addressing sleep, grief, parenting strain, or career and identity concerns as they come up.

Her experience includes many common life and mental health challenges such as addiction, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around aging or caregiving. She also supports people navigating abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, and divorce or separation.

People work with her to set practical goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress regularly. To begin, clients follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule sessions based on availability.

How CBT and practical therapy work online

Dr. Tatum uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try different behaviors and track what improves. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues.

Her work is collaborative. Together the client and therapist choose which approach to try and adjust it over time. She will listen to goals and concerns, suggest strategies, and plan practice tasks between meetings to reinforce progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling around work or family, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to continue regular sessions without long travel. Licensed professionals can make therapy fit into busy lives while helping build skills and new routines.
