Michelle Kohut, LCPC

Michelle Kohut is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Nevada with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and identity questions. Her work emphasizes clear, respectful conversation where clients set the pace and goals.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions often include practical tools for everyday life, like strategies for managing strong emotions, improving communication, or coping with workplace stress.

Michelle draws on a mix of proven methods to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered techniques to honor the client’s point of view, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused practices to strengthen connection and intimacy when those are goals.

She has a long history of working with LGBTQ concerns, grief, addiction, parenting stress, ADHD, body image, and other complex issues. Michelle also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and life transitions. Her goal is to help clients build tools they can use outside of sessions.

Sessions are offered in English. Michelle asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. The therapist works with people on practical next steps and offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence while clients work toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships.

Approaches that guide online work and next steps

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them name what matters most, which is useful for identity, self-esteem, and relationship questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and build new habits for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect closeness and trust. It can be helpful when intimacy, attachment, or communication problems are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist will check in about what is or isn't working.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since current formats are not specified here. Ask about available session types when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on skill-building and emotional work.
