About Michelle
Michelle Wygant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life changes, and she lists life purpose among her areas of focus. Michelle also supports concerns like self-esteem, intimacy challenges, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career questions.
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. Michelle draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients name thoughts and habits that get in the way. She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and trauma-focused work when past events are causing current distress.
Michelle’s background includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree. She has experience providing outpatient therapy across age groups and supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians. That clinical time informs how she plans sessions and sets realistic steps forward.
In a typical meeting she focuses on what feels most pressing and the small skills that make day-to-day life more manageable. Sessions often combine talking through current problems with hands-on tools for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Michelle helps people break larger issues into concrete next steps.
People who come when they feel stuck often start by clarifying what matters and what they might try next. Michelle’s approach is collaborative and goal-focused, helping clients create practical plans for changes they want to explore.

Michelle commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting on what matters to the client, which helps clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for coping with anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as those needs change over time.
