Onorina Michalsky, LCPC

Onorina Michalsky is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana who focuses on helping people identify what they want and move toward those goals. She emphasizes empowerment and practical change, guiding individuals to overcome obstacles and to grow toward their fullest potential. As an LCPC she holds a clinical counseling license that authorizes her to assess, treat, and support adults facing emotional and life challenges.

Working primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, she and her clients explore how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors, and how changing unhelpful beliefs can open the door to different emotional and behavioral outcomes. She uses structured, evidence-based techniques to uncover patterns rooted in past experiences and to replace them with more helpful ways of thinking and acting.

In addition to CBT, she incorporates methods from Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative approaches, and Person-Centered work, selecting skills and strategies that match each person's needs and goals. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process - partnering with clients to build a practical plan and clear action steps that support lasting change. If live sessions are desired as part of a subscription, she generally meets during daytime hours Monday through Saturday and may occasionally offer an evening appointment.

Onorina brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice, with particular attention to stress, anxiety, sleep concerns, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, caregiver stress, codependency, postpartum depression, and other life transitions.
