Michelle Coppins , LPC

Michelle Coppins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, career and life transitions, and feelings of loneliness. She blends practical strategies with empathic listening to help individuals better manage emotional responses and build confidence in everyday life.

Her work often focuses on common life changes that prompt people to seek counseling - such as divorce, an empty nest, a demanding new job, or the loss of a loved one. In those situations she helps clarify the issues that are causing discomfort and collaborates with each person to discover new ways of thinking, behaving, and handling difficult emotions.

As therapy progresses, Michelle teaches skills that strengthen coping and resilience so clients are better prepared for future challenges. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where concerns can be discussed openly. Michelle aims to help individuals identify and reach their goals, and she looks forward to working with people who are ready to make changes in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle Coppins draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment in which individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it is often helpful for improving self-esteem, processing life transitions, and repairing relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical coping skills; it is effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements of these approaches as appropriate and adjusts strategies over time to support progress.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere while maintaining continuity of care during life transitions and busy periods.
