About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Tatum is a licensed clinician who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 18 years of experience. Michelle aims to create conversations that feel respectful and direct so people can begin making small changes right away.
She focuses on clear goals and tools clients can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her approach, helping clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. That approach is useful for sleep problems, worry, low mood, and some forms of trauma-related distress.
Her work also addresses struggles around parenting, grief, addiction, codependency, and feeling isolated. She adapts what she offers to each person’s situation rather than applying the same plan to everyone. Michelle pays attention to cultural background and life stage when shaping a plan.
Clients can expect practical steps, conversational check-ins, and a focus on daily routines that support progress. She frames therapy as a collaboration where the person’s goals lead the work. Michelle often helps people build coping skills they can use right away.
She practices in Nevada and conducts sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Michelle Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Dr. Michelle Tatum relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central tool. CBT helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, then try small, practical experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift low mood. It is often used for stress, worry, and daily symptoms of depression.Her approach emphasizes clear, achievable goals and homework between sessions. She works together with clients to pick the techniques that fit their needs and lifestyle. That means the client’s goals, preferences, and responses guide which methods are used and adapted over time.
Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current online session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in during breaks or transitions. Some people find phone or video meetings help maintain continuity when schedules change, while brief check-ins can help track progress between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor timing and pace to match daily routines and responsibilities.
