Michelle Mohn

Michelle Mohn is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, career concerns, grief, and major life changes. Her approach centers on listening first and guiding clients to use their strengths in practical ways.

Michelle uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. She helps people build coping strategies for day-to-day stress, manage burnout or compassion fatigue, and address workplace worries. Sessions also cover relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and issues around illness and caregiving.

Her work often supports people navigating a cancer diagnosis, chronic illness, or end-of-life planning, and she draws on experience with hospice and caregiver stress to make those talks more manageable. She also addresses body image, money pressures, loneliness, and finding life purpose.

Michelle primarily uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She aims to create clear, actionable steps each week, tailored to the client’s goals and pace.

Based in Illinois, Michelle works in a manner that respects each person’s experience and readiness for change. She encourages small, achievable shifts that add up over time. People who want practical tools paired with empathetic listening often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. It helps people feel heard, name their goals, and decide what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and handle workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits to choose methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between longer appointments. It can also make it simpler to attend when managing illness or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work in remote sessions so clients keep building skills between meetings.
