More about Michelle

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am Michelle Gorden, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). With an extensive 20-year background in the field, I possess a wealth of experience and expertise. My primary focus lies in the treatment of mood disorders, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), areas in which I specialize.

My belief is that each client, couple, or family deserves a personalized and tailored treatment approach. To ensure the best outcomes, I have received training in several evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

With a laid-back demeanor, I strive to establish a safe and comfortable atmosphere for my clients. I embrace an eclectic approach to therapy, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate in meeting the unique needs of each individual.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
