About Michelle

Michelle Filippi-Robb is a licensed counselor who helps people facing grief, depression, and major life changes. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style and aims to create a listening space where clients set the pace. Michelle describes herself as laid back and straightforward, and she centers empathy and validation in sessions.

Michelle uses a person-centered stance that focuses on what matters to each person. She believes clients know their lives best and works alongside them rather than directing the process. That approach is paired with practical, solution-focused ideas when people want concrete next steps.

Her clinical background spans 24 years in the mental health field, and she holds LPCC and LPC credentials. Michelle co-owns a small private practice and speaks from personal experience that shapes her perspective, including living with a long-term physical disability and using a wheelchair full time.

She commonly supports people dealing with loss beyond death, such as job changes, relationship endings, and transitions across life stages. She also offers help around workplace stress, caregiver strain, aging concerns, and issues tied to abandonment, midlife, divorce, and women’s needs.

Michelle says she is comfortable supporting clients of diverse identities and with spiritual paths, and she can incorporate faith or intuition into sessions when that matters to the person. She does not focus on active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD work and prefers clients who are not seeking highly structured homework-driven therapy.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work

Michelle practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely, follows the client's lead, and focuses on building trust and understanding. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about grief, depression, or life transitions.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps clients can take between sessions. That method is useful for people who want clear goals and concrete strategies to manage everyday problems like workplace stress or caregiver burden.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust techniques so the work fits the client's needs and pace. She aims to balance listening with practical ideas when that is helpful.
