Michelle Voegtle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 25 years of experience working in recovery, bereavement, and life transitions. Licensed in both South Carolina and Connecticut, she blends clinical training with practical, compassionate support to help people move beyond what has been holding them back. As a certified yoga instructor as well, Michelle brings a holistic perspective that often includes creativity and outside-the-box strategies to support healing and growth.

Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are - listening closely, clarifying the sources of pain, and then shifting attention toward actionable steps forward. Michelle combines coaching and counseling, focusing on the present moment and the practical work required to build a new life that feels authentic and meaningful. She emphasizes kindness, patience, and realistic planning so clients can regain hope and momentum.

Michelle works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Clients have often commented, "you get it!" which reflects her aim to create experiences of being heard, understood, and less alone. She supports clients in cultivating resilience and discovering the life they are meant to live.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Michelle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and genuine support so clients feel understood and empowered to find their own solutions - it is especially helpful for grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative style helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and doable.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuity through life changes, and help maintain momentum between sessions, while supporting ongoing work with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit each client’s life.
