Michella Rahming

Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical support for adults facing life changes. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, career stress, addiction recovery, and relationship and grief issues. Her style is warm and straightforward, grounded in respect and steady support.

She brings five years of counseling experience to sessions. Michella uses client-centered methods to build trust so people can talk about what matters most. She also blends cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.

Michella has helped clients who are navigating substance use recovery and those coping with workload strain, compassion fatigue, and sleep disruption. She pays attention to how cultural background and experiences of prejudice affect wellbeing. She also supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, and questions of self-worth.

Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA. Michella holds LPC licensure and draws on psychodynamic and narrative ideas when exploring long-standing patterns.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on practical next steps. People can expect an approach that combines listening with concrete strategies to manage stressors and move toward clearer goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michella commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT offers step-by-step skills for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening emotion regulation. These tools are useful for coping with stress, anger, sleep problems, and addiction triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to fit techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice CBT exercises, teach DBT skills, and support recovery planning in ways that fit everyday life.
