About Michelle
Michelle Smith is a licensed mental health counselor who blends hypnotherapy with talk-based approaches to help people move forward. She is an LCMHC and LMHC with ten years of experience and works from Oklahoma. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon.
Michelle focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps people managing grief, career transitions, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She uses methods that match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In sessions she leans on hypnotherapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means clients can expect both gentle guided strategies and concrete skills practice.
Attachment-based ideas shape work around closeness, boundaries, and communication. Michelle has a client-centered approach. That means she listens first, then suggests ways forward based on what the person wants to change.
She aims to make small, steady shifts that add up to real improvements in daily life. She sees people dealing with trauma, abuse, body image and identity matters including LGBT concerns, and complex topics like abandonment or blended family issues. Sessions can address chronic illness, caregiver stress, and questions about commitment, control, or codependency.

Approaches that translate well online
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access thoughts and habits they want to change. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and habit shifts when combined with talk work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying values and learning small actions that move a person toward those values while accepting difficult feelings along the way. It often helps with stress, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and guided hypnotherapy work. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions, get brief coaching, or check in on progress. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on practical change.
