About Michelle
Michelle Alden is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Georgia with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. She also focuses on relationship difficulties and rebuilding self-esteem.

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to process trauma and address mood concerns. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Practical steps and homework may be used to reinforce progress between meetings.
Michelle describes working respectfully with people from many backgrounds, and she can incorporate Christian values and perspectives when clients request that focus. She offers services in English and Spanish to help bridge language needs.

Background and approach: With a long record of supporting people through transitions, Michelle emphasizes clear, direct conversation and steady pacing. She aims to help clients notice patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and to try small behavioral changes that can shift daily life. When trauma or painful memories are present she uses proven techniques to help people process those experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and relationship issues. Cognitive methods focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and social fears. Trauma-focused methods aim to help people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with clients, weigh their needs and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is tracked. This is a collaborative process that evolves over time. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as those details are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. They can also let people meet with licensed professionals from different parts of the state while keeping sessions aligned with daily routines and responsibilities.Areas of expertise
