Working with Michelle to apply what I’ve explored in therapy has been instrumental in helping me navigate the many transitions I’ve experienced this year. She has consistently helped me view challenges from new perspectives, and the strategies she’s shared have supported meaningful personal growth. As a result, I feel more confident in how I approach obstacles, responding with greater balance and composure rather than panic.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

So grateful to have connected with Michelle last year & now reconnected today. Feels like we didn’t miss a beat & she remembered so many little details about my life from a year ago.
Working with Michelle has been a helpful, consistent breath of fresh air. Her perspective, questions, understanding and care are greatly appreciated and have been very helpful as I try to navigate through several diffulties. She encourages me to grow and practice new skills, all without pressure, shame or impatience. It's been a very valuable experience and I appreciate Michelle tremendously
Michelle is wonderful! She listens and gives feedback and multiple potential solutions that can help you with what you are dealing with
She’s wonderful :) always listens but also guides. & that’s so important
I had my first session with Michelle Schmidt recently, and I felt safe, seen, and encouraged. She has such a calm, kind, and compassionate presence that made it easy to open up right away. The way she listened and reflected back what I shared made me feel truly understood, even in just one session. Her words stuck with me, and they meant more than she probably knows. I walked away feeling lighter, hopeful, and supported. I can already tell she genuinely cares about her clients and is incredibly gifted at what she does. I’m really grateful I found her.
I love our conversations, they have helped me get threw some dark times and help me breathe and move forward one step at a time
Michelle has helped so much in just two sessions. She’s very compassionate and understanding. She is helping me through my darkest time.
I have nothing but praise for Michelle! She continues to point me in the right direction, helps me with my physical and mental health to help me get health. And to keep my family together! Her expertise, recommendations, etc. is amazing!
Michelle has been very helpful to me. She has gotten me past a lot of fears I have had to deal with. She has helped me with some marital issues i have been dealing with for a long time. I always look forwatd to my sessions with her, even though she has helped me clear my mind about many things already. I would definitely recommend Michelle to others.
I came to Michelle with a need to understand if my lens of the world was appropriate or if there were adjustments needed. If the lens was correct, then how should I think about some of these things. I think we've made progress on this and I've grown in confidence that my view while isnt perfect, is reliable and I can better rationalize feedback and know where I can set boundaries.
Amazing. Like I’m talking to a friend
My experience with Michelle was phenomenal! She is great at talking about areas in your life that you’ve explained to her and she listens extremely attentively to everything you have to say and gives great advise and how you can make changes in your life for the better! Super nice and understanding! Great therapist!!
We have only been meeting for a few sessions now but so far I have really enjoyed our them. Michelle's thoughtfulness and expertise on the items that I am trying to work through have been incredibly helpful and I think it is helping me gain perspective that I needed.
Michelle is top notch! She has helped me get back to where I need to be...we are continuing to work on my and my family life. Her experience, and recommendations to keep moving forward has been really helpful. The way Michelle approaches different situations, has brough light into my day to day activities, and some of the things she recommends, I would have never thought off. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the help I'm receiving from her!
I was one of those people who didn’t think I was the therapy type - that is, until I was matched with Michelle Schmidt. In only a few sessions, she has used her thoughtful approach and expertise to bring much-needed clarity to my situation. Her ability to listen without judgement, see the big picture, and set reasonable goals is unmatched. No longer the skeptic, I now look forward to every upcoming session with great anticipation.
Michelle is amazing!!

Michelle is a great listener and answers my questions and concerns in a professional manner. She works with me at my pace which I appreciate.
kind, great listening, and great at helping me with strategies to help with my anxiety
Michelle had great ideas to help me with my issues. I feel very confidant with her knowledge and has really helped me to be on a better path.
Michelle has given me some really good tools, suggestions/recommendations how to improve my relationship with my wife...and to bring out the fun, caring, loving and goofy side of me that has been buried deep down inside me.
Michelle, listens and encourages. She doesn’t try to fix it but tries to encourage you to think about why you’re thinking a certain way. She helped me clear things up in my head and helped me walk through steps to simplify my day.
Michelle is a great listener and very knowledgeable. She makes me think outside my little world and keeps me grounded. I really appreciate her!
Michelle has been great! Very supportive and easy to connect with! Highly recommend!
So far it’s been a pleasure to work with Michelle. She is kind and compassionate and reminds me to be kind to myself which is a reminder I always need. She focuses on strength based therapy which helps remind me when I feel defeated.
Good therapist
Love working with Michelle so far
Michelle was extremely helpful and took the time to listen and ask appropriate questions during a difficult time. Her expertise shines through.
Super Patient and Helpful. Listens to me and is extremely helpful
I knew I would appreciate the convenience and privacy of in-home therapy via video, but I was prepared to need several attempts until I met someone I was comfortable talking to. I am grateful that I found Michelle in the very first therapist I was matched with - she is insightful, friendly, and a wonderful listener. I'm amazed at how quickly I was able to gel with her, and feel great about the progress I have made with her help.
