About Michelle
Michelle Mohn is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Illinois with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes, and she supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns. Michelle also helps with career issues and compassion fatigue.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and adjust thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and low mood. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Michelle has experience supporting people through serious illness and its impact on life. Her background includes work with cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, caregiver stress, and chronic pain or disability. That experience informs how she talks about medical and life transitions.
Meetings are conversational and goal-focused. She treats adults as experts in their own lives and helps identify strengths to manage change. Common topics include communication problems, money and workplace stress, body image, loneliness, forgiveness, and finding meaning.
Her approach blends listening with concrete tools. Clients can expect to review what’s working, set small goals, and practice skills between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer choices for everyday life.
How sessions work
How Michelle uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist offers empathetic listening, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify goals. This approach is useful when you need to sort values, make decisions about family roles, or process feelings after loss.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It uses short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits. CBT is often chosen for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and workplace or money worries.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that might fit. The plan can change as needs shift, and decisions about methods are made collaboratively.
Session logistics are not detailed here, so please confirm exact online options before booking.

Discussing preferred ways to meet will help shape a schedule that fits your routines.
