Michelle Kohut

Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Nevada. She brings 12 years of experience helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions about identity. Michelle focuses on creating an affirming, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.

She centers sessions on empathy and collaboration. Michelle listens for each person's goals and then helps them build practical skills for daily life. That can mean improving communication, managing workplace stress, or coping with big life changes.

Mindfulness practices appear alongside cognitive and emotion-focused tools in her work. Michelle uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and feelings, test unhelpful thinking patterns, and repair relationship connections. These tools are applied to concerns such as shame, social anxiety, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

She also supports people dealing with addiction, body image and eating concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Michelle pays attention to diverse identities and to the ways identity affects relationships and mental health.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, step-by-step coping strategies, and space to reflect. Michelle aims to help people build resilience and clearer self-understanding so they can make choices that match their values.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online care

Michelle blends mindfulness practices with client-centered listening and cognitive work to help clients notice thoughts, reduce reactivity, and try new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use video for deeper interaction or choose audio for lower bandwidth or less on-camera time. Talk with Michelle about what will work best for your routine and goals.
