About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship concerns, and address parenting questions. She also supports clients facing grief, mood shifts, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Michelle uses a client-centered approach. She adapts methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single formula. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and building coping skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in both educational and clinical settings. That mix gives her experience with everyday struggles and clinical problems alike. She draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to individual goals.
Michelle pays close attention to attachment, blended family challenges, and codependency patterns when those issues matter to a client. She also addresses ADHD-related concerns, social anxiety, and self-esteem problems in straightforward terms. Conversations aim to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate.
People meet Michelle to learn ways to reduce overwhelm, solve recurring conflicts, and plan for transitions. She helps people shape small, achievable changes that add up over time. The work is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding next steps together.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit your life
Michelle draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to reduce stress and manage anxiety, teaching simple steps you can use between sessions. Another approach looks at attachment patterns and how early relationship dynamics influence adult behavior, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods match your needs and goals. Together you’ll try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as you progress.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are good for a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a better fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let you send updates or get brief support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work days, parenting routines, or busy schedules while keeping a steady path toward their goals.
