About Michelle
Michelle Owusu draws on 17 years of clinical work to help people navigate a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.
Background and approach
As a licensed counselor (LCPC, LPC), she creates an inviting environment where clients can explore stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to intimacy, sexuality, and self-esteem. Her background also includes support around addiction, bipolar mood concerns, parenting and pregnancy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Working from an evidence-informed stance, Michelle tailors care to each person’s situation, addressing patterns such as attachment wounds, communication and control issues, blended family dynamics, and complications from divorce or domestic violence. She also offers guidance for those experiencing career stress, relationship complexity including polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements, postpartum depression, and multicultural considerations.
Located in Arizona, she provides approachable clinical support aimed at practical coping skills and clearer pathways forward.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Michelle employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and relational patterns. One common approach she uses involves skills training and structured interventions to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address addictive behaviors by teaching concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Another frequent focus is attachment-informed work that examines relationship patterns, communication problems, and control issues to help people build healthier connections and improve intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to explore what feels most helpful, adjusts methods according to goals and preferences, and integrates tools over time so clients can notice what promotes meaningful change for them.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue therapy through life transitions while maintaining consistent support from a licensed professional.
