About Michelle
Michelle Grimmer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, family problems, grief, sleep troubles, parenting, career issues, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and related areas.
Her work starts with listening to what feels most urgent. She helps people clarify their goals and notices patterns in relationships and behavior. Sessions often include talking through attachment dynamics and practical steps to manage stress, mood, or sleeplessness.
Michelle uses several therapeutic styles to match what a person needs. She draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses client-centered practices to keep sessions focused on the person's experience and CBT techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
People who contact her usually want clear communication strategies, ways to manage anxiety or mood shifts, and practical tools for parenting or coping with life change. Michelle pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, body image, and caregiver strain when those topics come up.
Her background includes work with trauma recovery and intimacy concerns alongside coaching for life direction and career questions. Sessions aim to balance emotional understanding with concrete skills people can try between meetings. To start, she asks people to describe the problem, set simple goals, and pick the next steps together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions using this approach often focus on spotting those patterns and practicing different ways to relate in everyday moments. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. In an online setting this means conversations follow what feels most important to the client, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT typically involves setting concrete goals, testing small behavioral changes, and using short exercises between sessions to track progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust over time in collaboration with the client. Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day.

Online work can make it simpler to attend brief check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that fit a work break or caregiving routine.Areas of focus
