Michelle Robbins , LCPC, LPC

Michelle Robbins is a licensed counselor practicing in Maine and South Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials - LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and depression.

Her practice focuses on helping clients navigate life transitions, cope with chronic illness or caregiving stress, process feelings of abandonment or isolation, and rebuild confidence and purpose. Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support work around communication difficulties, workplace issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and post-traumatic stress.

Michelle believes each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet current challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that takes courage and intentional steps toward a more fulfilling life. Michelle aims to empower clients to identify goals, build practical coping skills, and move toward greater self-love and resilience.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Michelle Robbins uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a client brings. She offers skills-based strategies to address stress and anxiety - practical tools that help reduce overwhelm, improve coping, and manage daily symptoms. She also provides focused support for grief and loss, guiding clients through processing emotions, honoring what was lost, and finding ways to rebuild meaning. Additionally, she works on strengthening self-esteem and confidence through approaches that identify personal strengths, reframe negative self-talk, and set achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques that fit each individual. This collaborative exploration helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These options allow clients to engage in regular, consistent work with a licensed professional from locations that fit their life, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
