Michelle Chabot , LPC

Michelle Chabot brings a lifetime of attentiveness to others and a formal grounding in counseling to her work. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling, and she is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado. Her professional memberships and continuing education reflect a commitment to learning techniques that best support each person she works with.

After serving in the Air Force for 12 years, Michelle turned her focus to counseling, drawing on military experience to support families and individuals through career transitions, relocation, trauma, and life change stressors. As a combat veteran, she offers insight into the unique challenges faced by service members and their loved ones. Throughout her career she has worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, communication, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and trauma.

Michelle also has direct experience facilitating support groups for infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, unplanned pregnancy, and abortion, and she partners with clients on resilience building, relationship strengthening, confidence development, and pre-marital counseling. Known for a natural empathy and an ability to listen beyond words, she creates a space where people can explore their stories and identify practical steps toward their goals.

Her clinical approach blends evidence-based practices including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, alongside person-centered techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. Michelle aims to walk alongside clients as they examine past influences, clarify present needs, and build plans for the future.

Evidence-based approaches for online support and growth

Michelle commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It focuses on changing thinking and behavior to improve daily functioning and coping.

She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-oriented method that zeroes in on strengths and small, achievable steps to create meaningful change. This approach is useful for clients wanting concrete progress in areas such as relationships, parenting, or life transitions.

Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to help clients reframe their personal stories, separate identity from problems, and discover new meanings that support healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so therapy remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care, while licensed professionals and therapists adapt evidence-based methods to work effectively across these formats.
