About Michal
Dr. Michal Jorgens is a licensed clinical psychologist in Minnesota who aims to help people reduce stress and improve how they feel day to day. She brings 28 years of experience to sessions and focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. Her style is informal and down-to-earth, and she listens first to understand each person's view of their problems.
She helps with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, codependency, ADHD, grief, and issues with intimacy and relationships. Dr. Jorgens pays attention to how attachment patterns and family history affect current problems. She also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on the therapeutic relationship. She uses client-centered listening alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She also draws on attachment-based and existential perspectives to explore meaning and patterns in relationships.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and on what works in daily life. She encourages small, achievable changes and practices that can ease mood, sleep, and stress. She takes time to explain options and to adjust methods as needs change.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Dr. Jorgens aims to make the process straightforward and respectful as clients take steps toward better coping and greater satisfaction.
Approaches that inform online work and goals
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and feelings. It can help people understand why they repeat certain relationship habits and how to form more secure ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s view. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals before choosing next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals and daily life. This means trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and maintain more consistent appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or offer alternatives when being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and CBT methods to virtual meetings so therapy stays focused on real-life change.
