Michella Rahming, LPC

Michella Rahming is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping adults navigate life’s hard moments. She emphasizes a warm, client-centered approach that makes space for each person’s story. Her work often centers on trauma and abuse as well as mood and stress-related concerns.

She brings five years of counseling experience and aims to meet clients where they are. Sessions often look at patterns in thinking and behavior, while also honoring personal values and spiritual questions. That mix is meant to help people build better day-to-day coping skills.

Michella integrates several therapeutic methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and narrative ideas. She uses these tools to address issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, career transitions, and the stress of caregiving.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida A&M University and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. She holds LPC credentials in Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia. Her approach values unconditional positive regard and patient listening.

People who choose her often want practical skills alongside space to tell their story. She works with adults on recovery from substance issues when clients are sober and engaged in recovery. Prospective clients in Georgia can confirm current session options before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches for online counseling

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel understood and can explore their concerns at their own pace. It often helps with trust issues, self-esteem, and processing difficult life events.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship stress, and intense mood swings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then use techniques from different methods to fit those goals. That means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Because session formats are not fully specified in the biography, confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to check in between commitments. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, while video visits allow for visual cues and a fuller therapeutic exchange. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments.
