About Michelle

Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on meeting each person where they are. Michelle aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

With 11 years of professional experience, Michelle draws on work in school and clinical settings to shape practical sessions. She uses a client-centered stance and adapts strategies to fit individual needs rather than following a single method. Sessions typically involve listening closely, identifying patterns, and trying small, doable changes between meetings.

Michelle often helps people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, and challenges tied to attention and mood. She also addresses family problems, attachment concerns, codependency, and social anxiety in straightforward ways. Conversations cover what’s happening now and what feels possible next.

Her style is collaborative and problem-focused. Michelle and the client set goals together and track progress over time. She balances emotional support with practical tools that can be used day to day.

Michelle works in California and provides services in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedules sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques framed around a client-centered approach. One common technique focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, which often includes simple behavioral changes and regular check-ins to see what helps day to day. Another approach addresses relationship patterns and attachment issues by helping people identify recurring interactions and try new ways of communicating and setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time and invites feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-in sessions when schedules are tight, and making it simpler to meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to match a person's routine and goals, helping therapy become a practical part of everyday life.
