01 · Who Michelle works with
Michelle lists 13 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Michelle chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Michelle's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Oklahoma, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma recovery. With extensive training in evidence-based practices, I create a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
My clinical expertise encompasses addressing addiction, intimacy-related concerns, and emotional healing. I am committed to understanding each client's unique journey, offering personalized guidance that honors their individual strengths and resilience. Through a trauma-informed lens, I work alongside clients to build emotional skills, enhance self-understanding, and cultivate sustainable wellness strategies.
I believe therapy is a courageous process of self-discovery, and I'm dedicated to providing supportive, non-judgmental care that empowers clients to create positive transformations in their lives.

03 · What happens next
Michelle practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Michelle's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Michelle at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Michelle is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Michelle.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Michelle actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Michelle's - Michelle has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
