Michelle Evans is a licensed counselor who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She holds an MA in Counseling from Webster University, earned in 2006, and maintains credentials as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). Through her work she has supported adults, children, and couples and has experience in systems such as foster care, residential programs, independent living homes, and substance use treatment in both residential and individual settings.

Her therapeutic style centers on meeting people where they are and adapting methods to fit each individual’s needs. She draws from a range of evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, trauma-focused work, client-centered methods, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, anger, and attention challenges.

Michelle emphasizes collaboration and practical skill building while honoring each person’s pace and goals. She invites prospective clients to begin a conversation about their concerns and what they hope to change, and to explore together which strategies will be most useful in their daily life and long-term growth.
